>GPT seems to interpret this literally. No it doesn't interpret anything. (which is why I've gotten three completely different answers here on HN within 10 minutes). It cannot count at all or even understand the question which becomes obvious when you ask it for word counts or letter counts that don't match anything in the sentence, at which point it makes up nonsense. what is the tenth word in the following sentence: "Life is great!" >"The tenth word in the sentence "Life is great!" is "great."
