This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh

Gemini seems to think Connecticut contains the letter D. It also seems to have forgotten Idaho exists, but honestly I don't think anyone would miss it.

A public proclamation of your ineptitude at simple tasks is an interesting way of defending the utility of LLMs.

    In all fairness, that is one of the strong use cases for computers in general. Doing simple yet tedious tasks accurately. When looking over 50 names checking for a particular letter, humans get bored and make mistakes. We actually aren't great at that sort of task. I think simply calling this ineptitude both misses the point and under appreciates the reality of being human.

    Alas, it is easier to call someone dumb than to try to understand them.

    Well, a mindless, repetitive task prone to errors and a task requiring obscure knowledge ("d" as a synonym for dick... one of those self-censoring Gen-Z things?)
    Nice to now have tools to solve these tasks and gain some time to do more interesting stuff instead. Lively discussions on Lemmy, e.g. ;-)
