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.

Just checked, it sure does say that! AI spouting nonsense is nothing new, but it's pretty ironic that a large language model can't even parse what letters are in a word.

    Well I mean it’s a statistics machine with a seed thrown in to get different results on different runs. So really, it models the structure of language, but not the meaning. Kinda useless.

    It's because, for the most part, it doesn't actually have access to the text itself. Before the data gets to the "thinking" part of the network, the words and letters have been stripped out and replaced with vectors. The vectors capture a lot of aspects of the meaning of words, but not much of their actual text structure.
