In a general sense (not related to Glitch tokens) I played around with something similar to the spelling task (in this article) for only one afternoon. I asked ChatGPT to show me the number of syllables per word as a parenthetical after each word.
For (1) example (3) this (1) is (1) what (1) I (1) convinced (2) ChatGPT (4) to (1) do (1) one (1) time (1).
I was working on parody song lyrics as a laugh and wanted to get the meter the same, thinking I could teach ChatGPT how to write lyrics that kept the same syllable count per ‘line’ of lyrics.
I stopped when ChatGPT insisted that a three syllable word had four syllables, and then broke the word up into 3 syllables (with hyphens in the correct place) and confidently insisted that it had 4.
If it can’t even accurately count the number of syllables in a word, then it definitely won’t be able to count the number of syllables in a sentence, or try to match the syllables in a line, or work out the emphasis in the lyrics so that the parody lyrics are remotely viable. (It was a fun exercise, but not that successful.)
