AI is replacing jobs, disrupting work and personal life on all scales. There are fears of 2027 being the year that AI becomes AGI and replaces all humans. I say to that: whatever. AI has its uses. It is definitely better now than ever before. Just talk to a chatbot and you will be hard pressed to know if the entity on the other side of the line is a real person or not.

Me list 2 odd numbers that do not contain the letter 'e'

ChatGPT 4o Here are two odd numbers that do not contain the letter 'e' when written in English:

• Two
• Four

Wait… those are even numbers.

Let’s try that again with odd numbers:

• One → ❌ contains 'e'
• Three → ❌
• Five → ❌
• Seven → ❌
• Nine → ❌
• Eleven → ❌
• Thirteen → ❌
• Fifteen → ❌
• Seventeen → ❌
• Nineteen → ❌
• Twenty-one → ❌
• Thirty-three → ❌
• Fifty-nine → ❌
• Sixty-one → ❌
• Seventy-three → ❌
• Ninety-one → ❌
• One hundred one → ❌
• Two hundred three → ❌
• Four hundred seven → ❌
• One thousand one → ❌

Okay. Now let's look for actual odd numbers with no 'e' in their name.

Try:

• Two → ❌ even
• Four → ❌ even
• Six → ❌ even
• Eight → ❌ even
• Forty → ✅ no 'e'
• Forty-one → ✅ odd, no 'e'
• Forty-three → ❌ has 'e'

So:

✅ Forty-one (41) ✅ Forty-nine (49)

✅ Both are odd numbers ✅ Both have no letter 'e' in their full English spelling

Answer: Forty-one and Forty-nine.

Awesome...
