I get:

>Alright, I need to figure out how many 'r's are in the word 'strawerberry'. Let's look at it carefully. I'll write it down: s-t-r-a-w-e-r-b-e-r-r-y. Now, I'll go through each letter one by one.

>Starting from the beginning: s, t, r – that's one 'r'. Then a, w, e, r – that's the second 'r'. Next, b, e, r – that's the third 'r'. And finally, another r before the y, making it the fourth 'r'. So, I count four 'r's in total.

>The word "strawberry" contains four 'r's.

Wow, so close. I wonder what went wrong here?

Tokenization, still. LLMs don’t see individual letters. It’s like using Google translate to ask a German speaker the same question and concluding that Germans can’t count letters.
