I want an advanced artificial intelligence to answer my question. It's a simple question with a simple premise:
>Name a language that contains the homophone pairs TWO/LOUSE and MANY/DOG.
It seems like a simple task but current AI just bloats itself with shit upon presenting this query. It always defaults to scattergunning languages (usually Mandarin, Hawaiian and French) and dragging itself through a big loop of "let's try language X because it has feature Y" rather than actually using the raw datasets it has access to that would immediately provide the answer.
Pic is my favourite time-wasting "thought" whether two words with 0 shared letters constituted a homophone in a phonetically transcribed language. Whoever programs these things needs a harsh reality check they can't do realworld tasks required of them and they can't do bulk data analysis.

Is there even a correct answer?
Either way, nobody said that the technology is anywhere perfect, but you must be retarded to tell that it's not impressive already.

This sounds like Korean.
TWO / LOUSE:
The Sino-Korean number for "two" is 이 (i).
The word for "louse" is also 이 (i). (Note: 이 also means "tooth").
These are homophones.
MANY / DOG:
The word for "dog" is 개 (gae).
While the primary words for "many" are 많다 (manta - adjective) or 많이 (mani - adverb), the highly common counter word used for items/things is also 개 (gae). You use this counter when expressing quantities, including "many things" (여러 개 - yeoreo gae) or asking "how many things?" (몇 개? - myeot gae?).
So, 개 (gae) meaning "dog" is homophonous with 개 (gae), the counter intrinsically linked to quantity and counting "many" things.
Therefore, Korean fits both pairs, though the "MANY/DOG" pair relies on the counter word 'gae' rather than a direct adjective/adverb translation of "many".

OP got real quiet, huh.
Here's a freebie:
There is no known natural language where the written words "TWO" and "LOUSE" are homophones, AND the written words "MANY" and "DOG" are also homophones. In English pronunciation they have different starting consonants, different vowel sounds, and different ending sounds/syllable structures. It's highly improbable that another language would borrow these specific four words and adapt its phonology in such a way that both pairs coincidentally become homophones.
Perhaps there's a misunderstanding of the question, or it might be a riddle based on a non-standard interpretation? If you meant the concepts (like my original Korean answer), that works, but based on your clarification regarding the written English words, such a language doesn't exist.

Roko's Basilisk remains hilarious to me. Even if you buy in to its many, many assumptions, the hard counter is simply to flip the AI the bird

Every concept of how to contribute thus far has been a lie.
