Comment on ChatGPT5 can't answer "How many states have R in it's name?"parent

Comments

answering questions by guessing next tokens in a sentence is different from running .contains on a list of strings. if you formulate your question more specifically it will do the duty..

i am not familiar with american states, but it produced me a list of state names with checkmarks nexto each with an r or R in it (one or more) and a total count. both seem correct. I just dont know if the list itself is correct :p

this guy is asking it by having it draw a map thats not a very logical way to answer a question. it skips over logical steps, so it has a bad answer

If you don't know, you say "I don't know". It didn't.

It offered to draw the map which it couldn't do.

If you are willing to accept any fault, maybe it's its inability to understand its own shortcomings.
