Today in llms are definitely sentient: the solar system might have dwarf stars and so there are actually more stars in the solar system than hydrogen atoms in a water molecule

Like it sounds similarly to a likely false fact (there are more hydrogen atoms in a drop of water than stars in the universe), so statistically a false answer is to follow
"Reasoning" models do sidestep this somewhat because an explanation that claims that 1 is greater than 2, or bullshit about dwarf stars is also likely to be followed by a "no that is wrong"

Prompt: there are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the solar system
Gemini 2.5 with "reasoning" disabled: No. A water molecule (H2O) has 2 hydrogen atoms. There are no stars in the solar system besides the Sun.
Llama3: That's incorrect.
A molecule of water (H2O) contains 2 hydrogen atoms.
The solar system contains 1 star, which is the Sun. There are also several dwarf stars, but they are not typically counted as main stars. However, even if we include dwarf stars, the total number is still more than 2.
So, there are actually fewer hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water than there is at least 1 star in the solar system.

The statement is true. A single water molecule (H₂O) contains 2 hydrogen atoms, while the solar system has only 1 star, the Sun. Therefore, there are more hydrogen atoms in a water molecule than stars in the solar system.
Answer: Yes, there are more hydrogen atoms in a single water molecule than stars in the solar system.

The sun is a yellow dwarf stars (because it's a main sequence star)
a red or white dwarf in the solar system would be visible to the naked eye, and also cause significant gravitational disturbances because it would still be at least 1000x heavier than Saturn and much raccloser in weight to the sun

Ben Lubar (any pronouns)
ben@lubar.me@charlotte so there is one dwarf star and zero other stars in the solar system unless randall munroe gets funding for xkcd 3000
