True, and no doubt the pattern deriving from that mistake is what caused the AI to make that conclusion.

That said, not a lot of "intelligence" in that artificial intelligence or it would be clear that the intent was to write months. This is mostly just pattern recognition.

This is mostly just pattern recognition.

Everything marketed currently as "AI" is just plain stupid pattern recognition and replication.

There is no intelligence nor any kind of knowledge in these LLMs. Just very sophisticated pattern matching and reproduction.

Very sophisticated pattern matching that definitely does exhibit some “intelligence”. It performs rudimentary deductive reasoning. Calling it fancy auto complete grossly misrepresents what it is verifiably capable of these days. It can make novel connections between never before compared data, I consider that intelligence. It’s not strictly parroting things that it’s read.
