I disagree...

Actual intelligence might be[0] to know what typos (of any kind) are fun to riff off.

Maybe this didn't hit the mark for you, but it got a chuckle out of me (especially considering the last hype before AI was crypto).

See that way too often in comments like this. Anyway, it was pretty likely they knew it was a typo, it was just a funny response.

I think you missed that the actual intelligence knew that it was a typo, and that the joke they made riffed on pretending that they did not know.
