I love language models because they're good and bad at a completely different set of skills compared to humans

human: jpe ,smu |n| om |n;irnrru| (think hard)

chatgpt 5: 2.

(You typed everything one key to the right: “how many b in blueberry” → 2.)

it noticed! but figured out what I meant anyway

For “n;irnrru”, shifting the letters left gives us “bluebeey”. It seems like it was meant to be “blueberry”, but we’re missing an ‘r’. Maybe the extra ‘r’ was missed due to the original typing. As for the pipes (”|n|”), they could represent parentheses or quotes, not just separators.

most likely the other guy got modal routed to gpt-5 nano because it's a "simple" question. telling it to "think harder" makes it use a more powerful modal
