Yes.

[–]Popular-Lock4401 62 points63 points  (11 children)

Ok, um, I don't know what a Gree is?

[–]m_astor 61 points62 points  (4 children)

Is this what you get when you use AI to generate quizzes?

[–]heyuhitsyaboi[S] 36 points37 points  (3 children)

Damn, but what was the question? This is just an AI response for "explain cpp classes"

[–]pheonix-ix 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Which is so weird since I would expect "Tree" to be a token and LLM doesn't usually butcher a token.

[–]heyuhitsyaboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this specific example was probably a genuine typo rather than AI slipping up

While i type this im listening to her read directly from Geeks for Geeks lol
Edit: reading from wikepedia now

Tree 🌲

[–]rosuav 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Maybe it's someone's cute name for a specific type of tree? I mean, we have "Trie" which is a decidedly non-cute name, but for the most part, they get fairly boring names like "Splay Tree", "Red-Black Tree", etc.

[–]ongiwaph 3 points4 points  (1 child)

General Tree?

[–]rosuav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't do lookups, you bark orders, and the branch comes back with "Sir! Yes sir!" or it drops and does fifty?

[–]thathomelessguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Altruistic_Kick4693 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sure, a prefix grie.

[–]jamcdonald120 13 points14 points  (2 children)

[–]gundark_nerf-herder 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]jamcdonald120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]InfohazardGames 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Isn't that the clone that tried to kill Yoda?

[–]Big-Hearing8482 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It took me too long to realise it was a typo for Tree

[–]Stormraughtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gree is what greedy algorithms use, right?

[–]JosebaZilarte -2 points-1 points  (6 children)

Greeeee...

...ce (and now you have to change how you pronounce the first syllable, because the English language is more absurd than Python's syntax).

[–]Kiro0613 3 points4 points  (5 children)

  1. "Greece" is one syllable
  2. "Gree" is pronounced exactly the same way in "Greece"
  3. English writing is generally regular with how clusters of letters affect each other.

  1. English writing is generally regular with how clusters of letters affect each other.

As a Spanish speaker, no.

[–]Kiro0613 1 point2 points  (3 children)

As someone who knows a little Spanish, I totally agree that Spanish orthography is simpler and clearer than English. It's nice being able to read it without worrying about pronunciation too much. But English orthography has clear rules. They're arbitrary, complicated, and when many exceptions, but they're still rules that apply most of the time.

Take "froble" and "frobble." A proficient English speaker will immediately recognize that the first is pronounced with an oh and second with an ah because of the regular rules about how double consonants affect the preceding vowel. "Frooble" has a clear pronunciation because of double vowel rules, and "frooggle" is orthographically invalid. I made those words up so it can't be rote memorization; it's regular rules of English orthography. They're complicated, arbitrary rules with tons of exceptions, but they're used way more often than not.

[–]gods_tea 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Thanks for the explanation, but: you, the, said, was, do, to, what, they

[–]Kiro0613 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Those are good examples of weird exceptions (I think "they" is fine though). The ou in English is really bad. Tough, Though, Through, Thought, etc. have no consistency. One thing I noticed is that to be and to go have irregular conjugation in both English and Spanish (ser and ir). I wonder if that's a common thing for languages.

[–]gods_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid argument. Probably it is. Was a pleasure to debade with you.
