Me: How about the following words: "ghottiaopepinopepotorzey", "zazzamataz", and "maaq"

Gpt: Here are the number of letters in each word:

* "Ghottiaopepinopepotorzey" has 23 letters.

* "Zazzamataz" has 10 letters.

* "Maaq" has 4 letters.

Is there anything else I can help with?

------

It got all of them correct except for "ghottiaopepinopepotorzey" which has 24 letters, not 23.

Very interesting... It seems similar to its math abilities, where it struggles with bigger numbers or more complex problems.
