Why AI can't spell 'strawberry'

AI models like GPT-4o and Claude struggle with basic language tasks, such as counting letters in 'strawberry.' Despite their ability to process vast amounts of data quickly, these models often fail in seemingly simple tasks, leading to viral memes that highlight their limitations. This phenomenon serves as a reminder that AI lacks true understanding and cognition.

The architecture of large language models relies on tokenization, which complicates their ability to grasp the structure of words. As AI continues to evolve, companies like OpenAI and Google DeepMind are developing new systems to enhance reasoning and mathematical capabilities. OpenAI's upcoming product, code-named Strawberry, aims to improve LLM performance by generating synthetic data, while Google DeepMind's AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 focus on formal math reasoning.

• AI struggles with basic language tasks, highlighting limitations in understanding.

• OpenAI's Strawberry aims to enhance reasoning capabilities in language models.
