This is a very interesting example. I don't blame LLMs for not understanding which English text makes hard sounds. I wonder if it would get better if it were multi-modal.
I just asked Chat GPT 3.5 the following: "Please give an exponential equation that has integer solutions which is difficult to solve.", and the response is:
"
Certainly, here's an exponential equation that can be challenging to solve for integer solutions:
2^x+3^y=7^z
This equation involves three variables, x, y, and z, and requires finding integer values for these variables that satisfy the equation. This type of equation is known as a Diophantine equation, and solving it can be quite challenging, especially for larger values of x, y, and z.
I mean, it's definitely not a Diophantine equation and solving it is definitely not challenging -- (2, 1, 1) happens to be an easy solution -- but I want to say it probably doesn't have any other solutions but I don't see a great way to prove it...
Alcohol use exerts enormous tax on society which chose to tolerate it for historical adoption reasons. Adding hard drugs is going to exacerbate the situation, and a number of those are worse than alcohol by any metric imaginable.
Alcohol has been with us for millennia, with cultural references going back to Homer. It is deeply embedded in our social fabric. Perhaps at some point it would be banished like tobacco is now. But it makes little sense introducing the prohibition when the bulk of society isn't on board with it.
