    Finally I can use one of the random facts that have entered my brain for decades now even though I can't remember where my keys are.

    If I remember correctly, "ichigo" means strawberry in japanese. You are welcome.

    Is this a continuation of the meme that GPT can't identify the number of "R"s in "strawberry"?

    > How many 'r's are in the word 'ichigo'?

    GPT 4o: The word "ichigo," which is the Romanized spelling (romaji) of いちご, contains one "r." It appears in the letter "r" in "chi," as the "ch" sound in romaji represents a combination of the "r" sound from "r" and "t" sound from "i."

    Thank you chatgpt. I'm glad we've burned down a bunch of forests for this.

    You can consistently get the right answer with a prompt of:

    > Write python code, and run it, to count the number of 'r' characters in いちご.

    though. For numeric stuff, telling the thing to just write python code makes it significantly better at getting right answers.

    Sorry, you're wrong. It means 1 5. Just kidding, it is strawberry but it can also be read as one and five. However, it is not fifteen.

    Can you help me wrap my brain around this? Does it mean six? I'm struggling to understand how a word can mean two numbers and how this would actually be used in a conversation.

    Thanks. I'm curious and trying to search for this to understand just returns anime.

    Ichi is the word for 1. Go is the word for 5.

    Without any special prompt change, I get

    There are no “r”s in the word “ichigo.”

    Maybe your instructions are bad.

    I think it's a bit of word play. 苺 (strawberry) and 一語 (one word) are both read "Ichigo".

    I mean, it wasn't really a trick.

    It's truly the exact same as someone saying "onefive can be read as (one five), but it's not (fifteen)" - to a non-English speaker I mean - I don't read 'prank' in that statement
