Well, not surprising, but the latest LLMs really do get the gist of your joke attempt. Here's a plain, unauthenticated chatgpt reply:

That post — “I rearry rove a ripe strawberry” — is a playful way of writing “I really love a ripe strawberry.”

The exaggerated misspelling (“rearrry rove”) mimics the way a stereotyped “Engrish” or “Japanese accent” might sound when pronouncing English words — replacing L sounds with R sounds.

So, the user was most likely joking or being silly, trying to sound cute or imitate a certain meme style. However, it’s worth noting that while this kind of humor can be lighthearted, it can also come across as racially insensitive, since it plays on stereotypes of how East Asian people speak English.

In short:

Literal meaning: They love ripe strawberries.

Tone/intention: Playful or meme-style exaggeration.

Potential issue: It relies on a racialized speech stereotype, so it can be offensive depending on context.



It seems like they don't realize the relevance of "strawberry." Llms were famously incapable of counting Rs in strawberry not too long ago.


I was surprised that was the example they used lol
