Hello! The reason things like this happen is that LLMs like GPT can't do math, even basic math like counting. Behind the scenes, they're "just" predicting text, so they're totally winging it when it comes to math.

If you have ChatGPT Plus, you can try asking it to use its data analysis tool to use some Python code to return a word count. This is like asking ChatGPT: "Since you're not a calculator, use a calculator, then let me know," and it can do that no problem with the separate, built-in data analysis tool.
