> ChatGPT will say there are two Ds in "your mom" and one D in "uranus"

… Isn't it possible that it understands the innuendo and is going along with making the joke?

help



It's possible, but I don't think so. It can't explain the joke. I tested it with other planets and got similar responses, e.g.:

How many D's are there in Pluto?

There's one D in "Pluto".

How many Fs are there in Mars?

There is 1 F in "Mars".

I guess it could think this is some kind of "give an f" joke but seems like a stretch.


In between solving open math problems, the 200 IQ robot is now casually dropping bantz onto humans so hard that they don't even know what happened, and even gets them to go telling everyone else about it without realizing. Beautiful. 10/10 timeline.

Yes. It is not only possible, it is entirely obvious.

I would guess the youtubers in question also know this, because you wouldn't ask a joke like this if you didn't know the punchline.

This is from 2018 so presumably it has made it into some LLM training data set by now.

"A Massive Object Devastated Uranus A Long Time Ago And It Never Fully Recovered"

How many LLM users have anything in their prompt against "going along with jokes"? I'd guess not many.

What a wonderful new world.


And the number of Rs in strawberry is a joke how?

It's a joke because, thanks to the internet providing a vast mass of strawberry R counting training data, you'll struggle to find a modern LLM that gets this particular problem wrong.

I read they are now overtrained on this and say 3 Rs for words that look similar to strawberry

ChatGPT in live mode still gets it wrong. I just checked.

Why is this getting downvoted? Is it not a reasonable question? I was wondering the same thing. Both sound like jokes to me. If the LLM is trained on text, including internet comments, how is this outlandish? It seems very likely to my uneducated self that “two Ds in your mom and one in Uranus!” is a joke.

It’s an obvious joke and not a terribly bad one, for those ease spelling bee comeback times.

We can only say bad things about the capabilities of LLMs.
