AI Can't Count To Ten

AI Can't Count To Ten
ChatGPT can't count words properly, and we're worried about AI taking our jobs? Please. The robot uprising will be delayed by basic arithmetic errors. It's like watching a calculator struggle with 2+2 while claiming it's ready to design nuclear reactors. The irony of an AI failing at following simple instructions about word count is just *chef's kiss* perfect job security.

Sure, normal people count to 10 on their fingers. But us nerds? We're out here counting in binary where each finger is a bit. Two hands = 10 bits = 2^10 = 1024 values. It's the same reason we think 512MB is a nice round number while marketing folks insist on calling it "half a gig." We didn't spend years optimizing algorithms just to use decimal like some kind of animal. The irony? Most of us still use our fingers to count how many bugs we've introduced while fixing the original one.

The brutal reality of zero-indexed arrays strikes again! Dad asks kid to count to ten, but the poor child starts with "1, 2..." instead of the programmer-approved "0, 1, 2...". Next frame: straight to the orphanage! 😱 Every programmer knows arrays start at 0, not 1. It's the hill we die on (or apparently disown children over). The kid committed the cardinal sin of using 1-indexed counting in a 0-indexed household. No wonder dad's debugging tears are flowing - his offspring has a critical logic error!

Who needs decimal when you've got binary? With 10 fingers, normal folks count to a measly 10, but programmers? We're out here representing each finger as a binary digit (0 or 1), squeezing a full 2^10 = 1024 values from the same hardware. It's the ultimate flex when someone asks you to count on your fingers and you casually hit four digits. The look on their face is worth the years of carpal tunnel from typing.
