> Asking why an AI can't count to a million seems similar to asking a human why they can't easily recite the alphabet backwards (unless they've tried it before, or they really think it through ie count forwards to get each prior letter, or they use a 'tool' e.g. writing it down).

This is where people get frustrated with AI, because a human can and would break down the problem, knowing what they know, so they could get the right answer. When the public, who doesn't understand how AI works, is told ChatGPT can do all this amazing stuff and is passing these advanced tests, they get very frustrated when it can't simply count in the way a decades old calculator can.
