Why would you start saying hundred out of nowhere?
1000 + 100 + 10 + 1
I think that’s how some cultures would actually say it.
Eleventeen eleventy eleven
one eleventy eleven
oneteen oneteen.
One thousand one hundred eleven
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
Lotr: elevende one
One thousand one hundred onety one
It’s simple - either you like consistency (oneteen onety one), or you’re just a chaotic, inconsistent lunatic.
Meanwhile in France, chaos goblins run wild
Oh gawd… Flashbacks…
Why would you suddenly add in the “hundred” when you didn’t do it for any previous ones?
It’d just be eleven eleven, we don’t say twenty two hundred twenty four.
I prefer eleventyleven
One-eleventy-one
but it’s a thousand more than eleventy eleven?
elelevevenen
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.
I like how your example was the year 2224 which I have never heard anyone say and not like 1994
One thousand one hundred eleven
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.
Exactly. That’s what the meme is showing. AI gets it correctly.
What happened in Twoteen Twooty Two?
Now, my story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say “dickety” cause that Kaiser had stolen our word “twenty”…
Eleven eleven.
Exactly! Just like how we say twenty eleven for 2011.
Now the years 2001-2009 we just don’t talk about…
Eleven eleven follows the pattern.
I asked GPT 3.5, Claude 3, Llama 3, and Mixtrial and they all said “eleven eleven.” No fun.
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
Eleventy eleven.
Making 119 eleventy nine and 1110 eleventy ten, and therefore, this is eleventy eleven.
I did the math.
Y2K maths! (1998, 1999, 19100)
Nineteen tenty
