A Chinese second grader would probably not be able to answer "How many Rs are in the word 草莓?" It's a valid critique.

You're right they probably wouldn't be able to to it, but that child isn't being marketed as an invaluable business tool to assist doctors in diagnosing cancer, or whatever.

  • Sure.

    A non-English speaking adult wouldn't be able to answer the question either, after the question was translated to their language. Maybe you wouldn't want a non-English speaker helping you to write an acrostic in English. Luckily nobody is marketing LLMs as "great for designing word puzzles" though.
