  • I totally understand the feeling of guilt you have. You trusted him, you were open, and this obviously wouldn’t have happened the same way without you.

    But also, the guy was 33. You were 13. He had a huge upper hand in manipulating you, and that’s clear given that not only did he lie about his age, but also that he gaslit you after.

    I don’t even hold 20 year olds accountable for the stupid things they do. But 33? That’s the age where you’ve seen enough of the world to know what you’re doing.










  • You didn’t get good answers so I’ll explain.

    First, an LLM can easily write a program to calculate the number of rs. If you ask an LLM to do this, you will get the code back.

    But the website ChatGPT.com has no way of executing this code, even if it was generated.

    The second explanation is how LLMs work. They work on the word (technically token, but think word) level. They don’t see letters. The AI behind it literally can only see words. The way it generates output is it starts typing words, and then guesses what word is most likely to come next. So it literally does not know how many rs are in strawberry. The impressive part is how good this “guessing what word comes next” is at answering more complex questions.
