It's spelled February

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

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

That's because of that typo

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 68 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

I like how your example was the year 2224 which I have never heard anyone say and not like 1994

Clearly you do not wear a monocle or a top hat but this is precisely how those of us that do do say it. Good evening madame.

1066 is a very commonly referenced date, and follows this pattern also

I mean, Im not against AI on this one.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

And fix twelve while we're at it too!

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Eleventy eleven.

Making 119 eleventy nine and 1110 eleventy ten, and therefore, this is eleventy eleven.

I did the math.

Why would you start saying hundred out of nowhere?

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One thousand one hundred eleven

One thousand one hundred onety one

[–] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

15 is the true answer for 1111.

Eleven eleven follows the pattern.

[–] snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Exactly! Just like how we say twenty eleven for 2011.

Now the years 2001-2009 we just don't talk about...

[–] ZeroTHM@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Eleventy Eleven.

[–] possessedfaxmachine@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's simple - either you like consistency (oneteen onety one), or you're just a chaotic, inconsistent lunatic.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was the year thousand hundred ten one...

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Twas thy year thousandty hundredteen onety

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The really weird case is "two thousand" to "two thousand nine", then we revert back to "twenty ten" and onward.

[–] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I asked GPT 3.5, Claude 3, Llama 3, and Mixtrial and they all said “eleven eleven.” No fun.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 points 1 month ago

Exactly. That's what the meme is showing. AI gets it correctly.

[–] Hextubewontallowme@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

I think that’s how some cultures would actually say it.

[–] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 5 points 1 month ago

Why would you suddenly add in the "hundred" when you didn't do it for any previous ones?

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Truly I tell you, Dinosaur Pile-up discovered the best way to say that number

[–] 10_0@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One thousand one hundred and eleven not eleven, not eleven hundred eleven. Op needs to learn how to say larger numbers

Eleventeen eleventy one for 11111

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

Eleven tenty one?

[–] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] disposable@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Someday, I'm going to make finding the origin of this meme format a special interest.
