This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh
A six year old can read and write Arabic, Chinese, Ge'ez, etc. and yet most people with PhD level experience probably can't, and it's probably useless to them. LLMs can do this also. You can count the number of letters in a word, but so can a program written in a few hundred bytes of assembly. It's completely pointless to make LLMs to do that, as it'd just make them way less efficient than they need to be while adding nothing useful.
