ChatGPT 5 Can't Count
Posted by Al Sweigart in misc
Computers can count. But ChatGPT 5, the latest and greatest model from OpenAI, one of the leading AI products available... doesn't count. I gave ChatGPT 5 several basic counting tasks and it failed nearly all of them: It can't generate an output of exactly 1,000 letter A's. It can't give me an accurate count when I give it 1,000 letter A's. It can't even get the same wrong count for letters other than A. AI companies have spent billions on AI that can't do something computers have been doing since the beginning of computing: Count.
