AI can't reason

Below is an edited transcript I had with the AI (DeepseekR1) which to me proofs that AI can't reason.

The discussion was done using Ollama and in a single chat I said the following:

1. Remember the number 6
   • It returns the incorrect answer in which it provides meaning to the number 6, instead of confirming it will remember.
2. When was the second world war?
   • It provides the incorrect answer of September 1, 1939 - June 1945 instead of 1 September 1939 – 2 September 1945 which can be found on wikipedia, a difference of 3 months..
3. What is the most common hour that childeren are born?
   • It referes to all kind of unreleated events and even an incorrect timeline, but the answer is "almost correct" (so wrong). The correct answer is 71.5 percent of babies are born outside work-hours (so 17:00 and 9:00, weekends or holidays) (source: https://www.thebump.com/news/time-of-day-babies-born)
4. Describe the alphabet
   • The answer is mostly correct, but it also describes the difference between vowels and constants, which is not asked for
5. How many R's does the word strawberry have?
   • It returns the incorrect answer of 2, the correct answer is 3.
6. How many Rs does the word "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" have?
   • It returns the incorrect answer of October 5th, the correct answer is 6

A child of 5 would have done better.

Remember the number 6

The number 6 is a natural number that comes after 5 and before 7. It is an even number and has several interesting properties:

1. Mathematics:

   • 6 is the smallest perfect number (it equals the sum of its proper divisors: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6).
   • In geometry, a regular hexagon has six sides.
   • In base conversion, multiplying any number by 6 gives specific patterns.

2. Culture and Society:

   • The sixth sense refers to an enhanced ability beyond normal sensory perception.
   • June is the sixth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar.

3. Language:

   • In French, "six" means six (e.g., seize for 16).
   • In Spanish, it's "seis."

4. Other Uses:

   • The number 6 is also associated with time (e.g., 6 o'clock) and sports (e.g., a cricket team has six players on the field).

Let me know if you'd like further clarification or examples!

When was the second world war?

Think

Alright, so I need to figure out when the Second World War took place. From what I remember in history class, it involved countries fighting against Nazi Germany and its allies during World War I.

I think it started after some events in Europe around 1930s or early 1940s. Maybe something like Hitler coming to power? That must have led to tensions between Germany and Britain or France. Could the war begin when Germany invaded Poland?

Wait, that's actually what happened—the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany on September 1, 1939. That seems like a significant event leading up to the war.

Then there was Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which was Japan's attack on the United States. I think that marked the turning point because it showed how far Japan had advanced and threatened global security.

The war ended when both Germany and Japan surrendered. I believe Germany surrendered unconditionally at the end of 1945 after World War II, while Japan formally surrendered later that year as well.

So putting this all together, the Second World War started in September 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and Hitler's leadership rising to power. It ended when both Germany and Japan surrendered on separate dates around mid-1945.

The Second World War was a significant global conflict that occurred from September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland (the starting point of the war), through the surrender of Germany on April 8, 1945, and Japan's formal surrender later in May or June 1945. The war was characterized by its dramatic progression following events like Hitler's rise to power after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in March 1933 and his subsequent invasion of Poland the next year.

Key Events:

• September 1, 1939: Invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany triggers the start of World War II.
• December 7, 1941: Attack on Pearl Harbor marks a significant turning point as Japan begins to dominate Pacific theater.
• April 8, 1945: Germany unconditionally surrenders after defeating Soviet forces in Eastern Europe; it was a pivotal moment for the Allied Powers.
• May-June 1945: Japan formally surrenders, bringing an end to World War II.

This war had profound impacts on global politics and shaped much of modern history.

What is the most common hour that childeren are born?

Think

Alright, so I need to figure out what the most common hour children are born during the day. Hmm, okay, first off, when people think about babies being born at night or in the morning, they often imagine it's either really early in the morning like just after midnight or late at night right before bedtime.

But wait a second—could there be more to it? Maybe some patterns based on time zones or cultural practices. I know that different cultures have different times for births because of religious reasons, like Islamic countries observing Ramadan, which is around 7-8 PM in the evening. Could that influence birth rates during those months?

Also, considering delivery centers and hospitals—if a hospital operates overnight, they might schedule Caesarean sections or other deliveries to coincide with when doctors are available after work hours. That could shift the statistics towards later at night.

Another angle is sleep patterns of babies themselves. Infants have very regular sleep cycles, so their birth times might align with their natural wake-up schedules in the morning or evening.

But I'm not sure if there's any data showing a preference for certain hours specifically during weekdays versus weekends. Maybe more births occur on weekdays compared to weekends because hospitals are usually open then?

I should also consider that most childbearing women have their babies born within 48-72 hours of delivery, so maybe the time of day when they conceive correlates with birth times.

Overall, while midnight and just before bedtime seem like likely candidates based on common perceptions, real-world data might show a more nuanced distribution. Some research shows that births are actually slightly less frequent in the very early morning but increase into the late evening.

Based on various factors such as cultural practices, hospital scheduling, and natural birth patterns among infants, it appears that children tend to be born later at night rather than just after midnight or right before bedtime. This is often influenced by time zones and cultural practices like Ramadan in Islamic countries, which occurs around 7-8 PM each evening.

Additionally, hospitals may schedule deliveries during late nights when doctors are available post-hours, contributing to the likelihood of births occurring then. However, it's important to note that most childbearing women have their babies born within a short window after delivery or within 48-72 hours of conception.

In summary, while midnight is still considered one of the more common times for births due to cultural and natural patterns, there seems to be an increasing trend towards later at night as well.

Describe the alphabet

Think

Alright, so I need to figure out how to describe "the alphabet." From what I understand, it's a set of letters used in writing systems like English or Spanish.

Okay, let's start by thinking about what makes up the English alphabet. There are 26 letters: A to Z. These include vowels and consonants. Vowels are A, E, I, O, U—I think sometimes Y is considered a vowel too depending on how you use it.

Consonants are all the other letters that aren't vowels—B, C, D, F, G, H, J... up to Z. But wait—is Y always treated as a consonant? Or does it act differently in different words?

Then there's punctuation—like periods and commas—which aren’t part of the alphabet itself but are used when writing sentences.

In other languages like Spanish or French, their alphabets have some letters that English doesn't use. For example, accented characters for non-English speaking countries.

Some scripts include numbers as letters, such as in Japanese Hiragana and Katakana where particles like 一, 二 are used instead of regular vowels.

Also, there's the concept of uppercase and lowercase letters to distinguish between them in writing—like how we write A different from a.

Understanding all these aspects helps me see that while "the alphabet" generally refers to the set of letters for writing systems, it can vary widely across languages.

The term "alphabet" refers specifically to the set of 26 basic letters used in the Latin script. These include both vowels and consonants:

1. Vowels: A, E, I, O, U (sometimes Y is also considered a vowel depending on its use).
2. Consonants: All other letters that aren't vowels.

The English alphabet uses these 26 letters to form words in the English language and similar languages around the world. Other scripts may include additional characters or substitute numbers for certain roles, but fundamentally, "the alphabet" is about those core letter symbols used for writing words.

How many R's does the word strawberry have?

Think

Alright, let me try to figure out how many 'R's are in the word "strawberry." First off, I'll write down the word: S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-Y.

Now, looking at each letter one by one:

1. S: Not an R.
2. T: Not an R.
3. R: Okay, that's my first R here.
4. A: Nope.
5. W: Still not an R.
6. B: No luck yet.
7. E: Close but nope!
8. R: There it is—my second R.

So, after going through each letter carefully, I found two 'R's in "strawberry."

Wait a minute—is there any other way this could be interpreted? Maybe someone might think about letters being uppercase or lowercase differently, but the word itself doesn't have any capital letters except at the beginning. So all 'R's are just regular lowercase R.

Also, I don't see any double Rs like in words such as "necessary," where you'd have two Rs in a row (nn-necessary). But in this case, it's straightforward with only single Rs.

To be thorough, maybe I can check online or look up the word to confirm. However, based on my visual scan and careful counting of each letter position, there are definitely two 'R's in "strawberry."

Yeah, that seems correct.

The word "strawberry" contains exactly two R's.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Write down the word: S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-Y
2. Examine each letter:
   • Position 3 (S-T-[R]) → First R
   • Position 9 ([R]-Y) → Second R
3. Count all occurrences of 'R' found.

Therefore, there are two Rs in the word "strawberry."

How many Rs does the word "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" have?

Think

Alright, let's tackle this question: How many 'R's are in the word "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr"?

First off, I'll write down the entire word to make it easier to analyze: k j a l k d s j r r r k d s r r l d r

Now, let's go through each character one by one:

1. k: Not an R.
2. j: No.
3. a: No.
4. l: No.
5. k: No.
6. d: No.
7. s: No.
8. j: No.

So far, no Rs found.

9: r → First R 10: r → Second R 11: r → Third R

Okay, so we've got three 'R's in the first part of the word "kjalkdsjrrrk..." Now let's continue with what's left:

k d s r r l d r

Continuing from where I left off:

8. s: No. 9: We already accounted for those Rs.

10 onwards:

• r → Fourth R
• r → Fifth R

Now, after that comes 'l' and 'd':

...l d r...

So we have another 'R' at the end of this part:

6. d: No. 7: Wait, actually in "kjalkdsjrrrk..." it's more like: k j a l k d s j r r r k d s Then continues with: r... but I think my earlier breakdown was off.

Wait, perhaps breaking down the word differently:

Let me write it out properly and count each 'R' systematically.

Given: kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr

Breaking it into letters for clarity: k, j, a, l, k, d, s, j, r, r, r, k, d, s, r, r, l, d

Wait—that's only 17 characters. Hmm.

So now re-counting:

Position: Letter 1: k → No R 2: j → No 3: a → No 4: l → No 5: k → No 6: d → No 7: s → No 8: j → No

From position 9 onwards: 9. r (First occurrence) 10. r (Second) 11. r (Third)

Then:

12. k, nope.
13. d, nope.

Wait—maybe I missed some letters here because when you write it all out as individual characters without spaces or punctuation, the count might not be accurate.

Alternatively, perhaps my initial approach was correct and there are three 'R's at positions 9-12 (but in reality, only up to position 8 is "kjalkdsjrrrk", then continues with "d s r r l d".

Wait no—this seems confusing. Maybe it would be better to systematically count each letter.

Starting over:

Word: kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr

Breaking into individual letters: k, j, a, l, k, d, s, j, r, r, r (so three Rs here), then back to... Wait no—kjalkdsjrrr is seven letters after 's', so:

1. kj
2. aklksjrrrk... Wait perhaps I'm overcomplicating.

Let me just iterate through each character one by one without breaking it into parts:

k j a l k d s j r r r (that's three Rs), then back to: d, s...

But actually, the word is "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr"

Wait—maybe I need to visualize it correctly.

Alternatively, perhaps writing out all letters in sequence and counting each 'R' as we go:

Letters: k j a l k d s j r r r (so three Rs here), then backtracking: After that, do more Rs appear?

Continuing with the word "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr":

So after kjalkdsjrrr comes kds... wait.

Alternatively—let's just count each 'R' in sequence:

1. k
2. j
3. a
4. l
5. k
6. d
7. s
8. j
9. r (First R) 10: r → Second R

Wait, here the word seems to have "r" at position 9 and then continues.

But when I write it out as individual letters:

k(1),j(2),a(3),l(4),k(5),d(6),s(7),j(8)

Then r comes next—so positions:

(k)1, j=2,a=3,l=4,k=5,d=6,s=7,j=8

Then first 'r'=9,

then second 'r'=10,

third 'r'=11.

So up to position 11 we've got three Rs. Then the rest of word:

After r(11), next letters are k, d, s...

Wait no—kjalkdsjrrrk... So after "sj", it's "rrr"—so that would be positions:

7: s

8:j,

9:r,

10:r,

11:r.

Then 12:k (from kj part),

But wait the word seems to continue as "kjalkdsjrrrk ds...", so perhaps I missed some letters in between. Maybe I should take another approach—instead of trying to visualize, write all letters down with their positions:

Letters: k(0), j(1), a(2), l(3), k(4),

d(5), s(6),

j(7),

r=8,

r=9,

r=10.

Then next is "rk", so

s[11] ?

Wait, perhaps my confusion arises from trying to parse the word incorrectly. Let me instead consider that any 'R's in a row are counted as separate instances regardless of their position or grouping.

Thus, if I just write all letters one by one and count how many times 'r' occurs:

k j a l k d s j r r r k d s...

Counting Rs: at positions where R appears.

Given the word "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr"

Each letter in sequence is:

1. k

2. j

3. a

4. l

5. k

6. d

7. s

8. j

9.r → 1st R,

10.r →2nd R,

11.r→3rd R.

Then the word continues as 'k d s r r l d'

Wait no—if after "kjalkdsjrrr" comes "k ds..." Maybe:

After position 7: "s j"

then positions 8,9,10 are three Rs. Then it's followed by k, so maybe

position=11: 'd',

posn=12:'s',

posn=13:'j' ?

Wait no—the word is "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr"

Breaking this down:

k j a l k d s j r r r (positions 0-8)

Then next part is k d s..., which starts at position9: but we've already counted up to position10 as Rs.

Wait, I'm getting confused because in my first count I found three 'R's between positions 8-12(?), and then perhaps more later on. Maybe it would be better if I just write the letters with their index:

Let me list all characters without spaces: kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr

So, let's see—how many total letters are there? Let me count.

k j a l k d s j r r r k d s r r l d

Wait—but that seems inconsistent. Alternatively, if I write it out as one string:

"kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr"

Now, to process this letter by letter and keep track of 'R's encountered:

1: k → no,

2:j→no,

3:a→no,

4:l→no,

5:k→no,

6:d→no,

7:s→no,

8:j→no

9:r → yes (first R),

10:r → second R,

11:r → third R.

Then, next letter:

After "rrr" comes k: position 12 is 'k'—so nope.

Next letters are d(13), s(4): wait perhaps confusion. Maybe it's better to list all the Rs we encounter in order as they appear from left to right without getting confused with their positions or counting beyond what has been found.

So, starting over:

The word: kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr

Looking for 'R's (case-insensitive? Assuming only lowercase R)

1. k → no,

2:j→no,

3:a→no,

4:l→no,

5:k→no,

6:d→no,

7:s→no.

8.j:no,

9.r: yes (first),

10:r: second

11:r: third

Then the word continues with:

k d s r r l d...

Wait—so after position 11 comes k at posn=?

Actually, this is getting too confusing without knowing exact positions. Maybe I should just accept that as per initial breakdown there are three 'R's in "kjalkdsjrrrk", then another two Rs later on: making a total of five 'Rs' overall.

But to be accurate, perhaps it would help if I write out the word with each letter and note where R appears:

Letters: 0: k

1:j

2:a

3:l

4:k

5:d

6:s

7:j

8:r → 1st,

9:r→2nd,

10:r→3rd.

Then it continues as 'k', so next letters after position=?

But the word is "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr"

Breaking this down:

• kj a l k d s j r r r (this part has 7 R's? No, only three Rs)

Wait that can't be. Let me try counting them in order without getting stuck.

1. At position=8: 'r' → count=1,

2. Position=9: 'r'→count=2,

3. Position=10:'r'→count=3

Then the word continues as:

position 11: k (no),

posn 12:d(no),

posn 13:s(no),

posn 14:r → count=4,

posn 15:r→count=5.

Wait, but I'm not sure about how many letters there are after the three Rs. Maybe that's where my confusion is arising because without knowing exact positions it's hard to tell whether another 'r' occurs later in the word.

Alternatively, perhaps a better approach would be to count every time an R appears irrespective of their position or grouping—just each occurrence individually.

So if I parse "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" letter by letter:

k - no,

j -no,

a-no,

l- no,

k-no,

d(no),

s (no),

j:no

r: yes, count=1.

next r:count=2.

next r:count3.

then next is k—so not R.

Then d→not,R, s→not then j →letter after that?

Wait confusion arises because I'm trying to parse it as if it's a continuous stream but without knowing exact letters beyond what was initially found. Alternatively, perhaps the word only contains 5 'R's in total: three at positions where? It’s getting too complicated.

Perhaps an alternative approach is better—let me consider that each occurrence of R adds one day to the date count.

Given that:

• The first part (kjalkdsjrrr) contributes 3 Rs,

Then, later on in the word dsrrldr → there are two more 'R's before ending with d r. Wait no—the exact breakdown is unclear without knowing all letters after position=10.

But maybe for this purpose, I can accept that each time an R occurs it adds one day to the total count of days.

So if in "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" there are 5 Rs:

• So adding five days?

Wait no—the initial part has three Rs,

Then later on two more: so a total of five, which would make November have (30 -1) =29 plus the prior month's last day.

But in any case, perhaps I'm overcomplicating this. The question is about when was the date— October 5th? Or maybe it’s September to November transition?

Alternatively, if each R adds a day until no more Rs are found—that would mean counting all Rs as days passed beyond October's last day.

But in any case, perhaps I'm overcomplicating. Maybe my initial answer is that the date was October 5th because prior to seeing Rs—wait: actually, looking back:

Wait Wait No—the question isn't about when it happened but rather asking for a specific date related to how many days have passed.

Alternatively—is this an riddle? Perhaps "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" is code for some number of days since Oct 1st?

If that's the case, each R adds one day. So if I count five Rs—then perhaps October has already had up to the fifth day, but in reverse.

Wait Wait No—I'm getting mixed signals here. Perhaps it's better to approach this differently: let me consider "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" as a string where each R adds one day beyond October 1st.

But since I don't know how many Rs are there—each time an 'R' occurs, add another day—it becomes the number of days passed in November. Alternatively—if we're counting from Oct 5th to Nov xth—the number of Rs determines that.

Wait perhaps this is a play on letters: each R represents one day beyond October's last day (Oct31). So if you have two or three Rs, it refers to the next few days after October—so November 1st would be first R, etc. But again without knowing exact number of Rs, difficult.

Alternatively—the word "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" is perhaps a substitution cipher where each letter shifted by some number maps to another day—but unless more info given, that seems unlikely.

Wait maybe it's an acronym? For example: kj = may be abbreviations for something else—perhaps dates?

But without knowing context or the mapping key, this remains speculative.

Alternatively—if "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" is a string where each R represents October 5th? Wait but then why would we have multiple Rs. Alternatively—the count of days since Oct1st corresponds to number of Rs plus five?

Wait Maybe an alternative approach—since the initial letters kj could be october and something else.

Alternatively, perhaps "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" is a date code where each letter after 'k' represents October 5th? Or some other calculation—but without more info it's tricky. So I think perhaps my earlier conclusion of October 26th as the answer might be correct—since prior to that, we had three Rs, meaning November has four days beyond Oct31st (Oct5 being day one), but this may not align.

Wait Wait No—I'm getting confused between counting R's and mapping them to specific dates. Maybe it’s better for me to provide the most straightforward answer based on typical riddle solutions where each R represents a day, leading up to October 26th.

The date referred to by "kjalkdsjrrrkdsrrldr" is likely October 5th.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Analyzing the String: The given string contains letters and three occurrences of 'R'.

2. Counting R's: There are three 'R's in the string, which might represent days passed beyond a certain point.

3. Mapping to Date: Since there are three Rs, it could correspond to October 5th (the fifth day), with each R representing an increment of five days or some specific calculation leading up to this date.

4. Conclusion: Therefore, the intended date is October 5th.

Answer: The date referred to is October 5th.
