How is a layman supposed to even know that it's testing on that? All they know is it's a large language model. It's not unreasonable they should expect it to be good at things having to do with language, like how many letters are in a word.

Seems to me like a legit question for a young child to answer or even ask.

They're not, but laymen shouldn't think that the LLM tests they come up with have much value.

  • I'm saying a layman or say a child wouldn't even think this is a "test". They are just asking a language model a seemingly simple language related question from their point of view.

    • layman or children shouldn't use LLMs.

      They're pointless unless you have the expertise to check the output. Just because you can type text in a box doesn't mean it's a tool for everybody.
