People give me a weird look when I spell out dates like this. It's easier for me to say it that way and it's correct. I don't get why people are iffy about it
You must understand!
Turn one into ten,
And let two go,
And make three the same,
So you'll be rich.
Lose the four!
From five and six,
So says the witch,
Make seven and eight,
That's how it's done:
And nine is one,
And ten is none.
That's the witch's one-one-one!
It's not that LLM will do that exact thing, they have a big dataset so they know how "eleven" works. If you trained a NN with this small dataset, than this will happen or rather it's a comment on how AIs work in general. With more complex things something like this might happen and then you have this meme to relate to
maybe the problem is actually that whoever made this doesn't know how to read numbers. one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine is perfectly consistent with one thousand one hundred and eleven, excluding the 11 and 12 exception of course.
That's not going back far enough. Their histories diverge, but what was going on in each of them?
No real answers though, because you're probably right about it not being exciting. The cat's probably upset that he had just been asked to leave or at least put a shirt and shoes on.

This is not AI, though. Just Excel's pattern recognition doing its job.

It'd just be eleven eleven, we don't say twenty two hundred twenty four.

Eleventy eleven.
Making 119 eleventy nine and 1110 eleventy ten, and therefore, this is eleventy eleven.
I did the math.

Eleven eleven follows the pattern.
snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
Exactly! Just like how we say twenty eleven for 2011.
Now the years 2001-2009 we just don't talk about...

Eleventy Eleven.

The really weird case is "two thousand" to "two thousand nine", then we revert back to "twenty ten" and onward.
Kiosade@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 2y
I mean what are you gonna say, twenty nine? That just sounds like 29. Guess you could say Twenty Oh Nine but that feels awkward.
Akasazh@feddit.nl · 7 pts · 2y
Isn't what we call AI usually large language models, and the one thing they are good at supposedly language patterns?
As such it should get this correct IMHO.
jol@discuss.tchncs.de · 9 pts · 2y
Exactly. That's what the meme is showing. AI gets it correctly.

If you're going by how we say years pre millennium, it'd be eleven eleven (to match e.g. nineteen eighty four), which still isn't what's in the op.
