That depends on the context, obviously. If you had asked me to count them in every "strawberry" in a text file, then I may whip out my Python or some combination of bash, awk and sed. If you asked me in a conversation, I may close my eyes, visualise the string and use my visual cortext tool to count them in-memory. If you gave me a piece of paper with the word on it, I may use my 'eye' or 'finger' tool to count them. There are numerous approaches, based on the problem setting as you see, but one thing in common - you don't need to specifically tell me what tool to use. I will infer it myself, based on the context. Something an LLM almost never does.

This is a very good answer and I'm commenting only to bring more attention to it apart from voting up. Well put!
