But it literally did nail it?
It's giving you a list of the items that were received in the 12 Days of Christmas. And it's correct.
12*1=12
11*2=22
10*3=30
And so on.
If you wanted the lyrics, that's a different question.

so it's "Ackshully as a Service", gotcha
☝️🤓aaS
Ackshully... It should be: "AaaS".
I think it's Ass.
Good bot
The emoji was standing in for the “A” for “ackshully”
Only if you assume that everything on the list was additive to the initial gifts every time. I think you can infer from the context of the song, the holiday, how gift-giving works, etc. that they were just appending to the list of gifts each day.
But those are the sort of things that LLMs are incapable of doing.
That's what the lyrics say though.
On the X day of Christmas my true love gave to me, X [item], X-1 [item], etc.
The song explicitly states they give this stuff every day.

I’ve never assumed that interpretation. I always thought the gifts were given each day. So you end up with twelve partridges and pear trees at the end. The song says “on the nth day of christmas my true love gave to me” doesn’t that imply you are receiving all those gifts that day?

Kinda did depending on how you look at it. 5 golden rings is said 8 times, for a total of 40. Same appears to be true for all the other items but I'm not checking them all.
In the song that's what they send every single day two French hens every single day are sent so yeah at the end they do send a lot of French hens.
Is the pear tree included? Do I get one pear tree? 12 pear trees? No pear tree? This might be a dealbreaker, so take your time answering.
It's assumed that you already have a pear tree; the partridges are just being installed into your pre-existing tree. Don't be greedy. Mature fruit trees are expensive.
I mean.... It's not wrong, actually.
That's right though. Each day you get an increasing number of an item plus all the items from the previous days again.
Enjoy your birds.
Another classic example of a technically correct answer missing nuance and context.
When will the AI slop end?
Most of common information is usually wrong. When programmers gaslight themselves into using it, the code is almost always wrong. Artists are all pissed, because both Nvidia and "Open"AI trained their data on hundreds of terabytes of stolen data too.
The only ones still satisfied with this, are the top 0.01% billionaires, who continue selling these products to companies, who in turn buy this only because of peer pressure
I say this as someone in big tech, AI is pushed because it's an easy lie to keep big companies viewed as innovating to shareholders. I say this knowing that Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon have contributed significantly to AI research in the last few years alongside the obvious contributions of OpenAI - the goal isn't groundbreaking AI work, but to act as a smoke-screen to show that nothing else has been delivered.
Google has lost ground in advertising, and is losing customers on many of their services. Amazon is losing ground in cloud computing and in retail. Apple has stagnated with recent poor releases. Microsoft has made ground in cloud, but has struggled in advertising, Xbox, Office, and Windows. They use GenAI to keep their stock price high, otherwise they'd drop like a sack of shit because shareholders would say "what the fuck have you even done in the last half a decade?"
This makes so much sense.
I always thought, surely their higher ups must know this is utter garbage?
They do but it's just to scam investors.

Seriously. I cannot wait for the hype about these stochastic parrots to die.
Stochastic parrots is an excellent phrase.
Google fired a co-inventor of it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru
Following her departure, Google held a forum to discuss experiences with racism at the company, and employees reported to NBC News that half of it was spent discrediting Gebru, which they took as the company making an example of her for speaking out. The forum was followed up with a group psychotherapy session for Google's Black employees with a licensed therapist, which the employees said was dismissive
It's a real fucking laugh. It seems Google's go to response to discrimination is to hire psychs to calm it's employees. Real cyberpunk corpo shit. "Let's fix your thinking."

So... did I miss the cooking time on this recipe? 350 for how long? And this recipe serves how many??? What is happening right now?!?!!???

This is entirely correct actually. Number of items on day n = (13 - n)*n
Damn, and I thought the original gift-giver in the song was already being totally unreasonable.
Can you imagine all the droppings their true love would have to clean up from all those birds?

I swear AI chat bots were better in 2023 than they have been in 2024. It feels like they really shit the bed this year. Maybe I'm wrong.
Tbh I feel like it’s when they attached them to the internet and over burdened them with system prompts.
French Hens are just pretentious chicken fries
Pascal: "I am having the best Christmas right now."
Did everybody get this as a maths problem nearly every year in primary school, and again in high school when triangle numbers were brought up?
This is embarrassing, bro
Natalie Cole's version of this does this at the end.
I wonder if there is any pattern to those numbers
edit: ah I didn't notice, thanks all :)
It has totalled them as the items are sent everyday after they are introduced.
If n is the day the item is introduced, the total quantity is 42-(n-6.5)^2^.
Easier: n(13-n).

Start with 10 and subtract 2 for every step
gotta account for inflation
