Thats an interesting test. Here's what I got from ChatGPT:

---GPT-3.5---

Here are some words that end in "agi":

Strategy

Swarajya

Arthroplasty

Sialagogue

Podagric

Gynecology

Physiognomy

Ophthalmology

Esophagitis

Otalgia

--- GPT-4 ---

Here are some words that end in "agi":

Swaggy

Raggi

Magi

Gagi

Stagi

Please note that some of these words may not be commonly used or may be specific to certain dialects or regions.

Stagi isn't a word (unless you count Lojban). Gagi isn't a word unless you could Filipino slang.

To be fair the question did not specify the language and included a disclaimer about it.

Even if you don't consider an Italian word as a word: It's a last name. It's a brand name. It is several companies' name.

It belongs in the list just fine.

It seems you agree with me, I do not understand. Wrong thread maybe you replied to?

Yes. That was agreeing.

Then the word rhamanagagi (which I just made up) is a word that would technically belong to the list just fine, it definitely not answered to the implicit intent of the question.

The strength of LLM is their ability to answer to unprecisely specified questions, being able to guess the speaker's intent, but in this particular case, it's failing the test.

Could you not have at least Googled the word before speaking against it?

There are a lot of genuine hits for stagi.

those are either family or brand names. I don’t see it used as a common word in any of the results.

Proper nouns are words. That answers the prompt, right? There was no mention of "common" in the prompt. If there was, the list of words I got with the same prompt on ChatGPT would have been a lot shorter.
