Just got schooled by an AI.
According to Wiktionary:
(UK) IPA(key): /ˈstɹɔːb(ə)ɹi/
(US) IPA(key): /ˈstɹɔˌbɛɹi/
...there are indeed only two /ɹ/ in strawberry.
So much for dissing on AIs for not being able to count.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Wrong maths, you say?
Anyway. You didn't ask the number of times the phoneme /ɹ/ appears in the spoken word, so by context you're talking about the written word, and the letter ⟨r⟩. And the bot interpreted it as such, note it answers
instead of specifying the phonemes.
By the way, all explanation past the «are you counting the "rr" as a single r?» is babble.
Yes. If I want to know what 1+2 equals, and I throw a dice, there's a chance I will get the correct answer. If I do, that doesn't mean it knows how to do Maths. Also, notice where it said "Here's the calculation", it didn't actually show you the calculation? e.g. long multiplication, or even grouping, or the way the Chinese do it. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Even if AI manages to randomly get a correct answer here and there, it still doesn't know how to do Maths (which includes not knowing how to count to begin with)
What's interesting IMO is that it got the first two and the last two digits right; and this seems rather consistent across attempts with big numbers. It doesn't "know" how to multiply numbers, but it's "trying" to output an answer that looks correct.
In other words, it's "bullshitting" - showing disregard to truth value, but trying to convince you.
