I hate AI, but here it's a bit understandable why copilot says that. If you ask the same thing to someone else they would surely respond 2 as they my imply you are trying to spell the word, and struggle on whether it's one or two R on the last part.

I know it's a common thing to ask in french when we struggle to spell our overly complicated language, so it doesn't shock me

Nah it's because AI works at the token level which is usually words. They don't even "see" the letters in the words

Thank you. For as much as this post comes up, I hope people are at least getting an education.
