Chatgpt doesn't get it right: https://chatgpt.com/share/6994c312-d7dc-800f-976a-5e4fbec0ae...

``` Use digit concatenation plus addition: 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000 Digit count:

888 → three 8s

88 → two 8s

8 + 8 + 8 → three 8s

Total: 3 + 2 + 3 = 9 eights Operation used: addition only ```

Love the 3 + 2 + 3 = 9
