It is so definitive, though. I tell it, "Hey bro, that's only 387 words and it needs to be 500." And instead of saying, "Oh, ok, I will attempt it again, I am sorry." It states, with authority, "My apologies, here is a version that is 500 words." And then it is 402.

It is like it can't count. Which is fucking hilarious to me.

I tried to have it make a meal plan with nutrition facts, 200 grams of protein and 2000 calories and it would do the same, “okay here’s a meal plan with 200 grams of protein and 2000 calories” it had all the nutrition facts but the numbers did not add up to anything close to what they were supposed to. I can’t think of the other time but this was not the first time I used it and it simply could not add, something I would expect an AI to do with ease.

That's a good example.

Math/counting... Not AI's strong suit I guess.

That's a sore spot for chatGPT specifically rather than AI in general. See this thread for more.

Totally. I understand.

I'm not even asking for simple algebra.

I am asking for GPT to simply count the number of words it is outputting.

Yeah that's fair. I find it likes repeating the words in your question again more than anything else, it's like a student answering the "write your answers in full sentences" type questions. So it's probably just compulsively doing that
