Yes, they are both wrong.
Think of advice like water or soup, if it's small or big, it's still advice
You can say "a piece of advice"
My grandma gives the best advice.
My grandma makes the best soup.
My grandma makes the best cookies.
She gave me a piece of advice I will never forget: everyone is worthy of love.
One drop of water fell out of the cup.

You can say "a lot of advice" or "a little advice"
He gave me a lot of advice on how to talk to a crowd, so people were really impressed with my speech.
He only gave me a little advice, but it was enough to help me solve my problem.
I am thankful for all the advice I received from my teachers.
She gave me so much advice that I knew there was no way I would fail the test.

If it is important that the advice was only one thing then you would say "a piece of advice."
Often it just doesn't matter.
"His advice really saved me on the test" could mean one or many pieces of advice.
So yes, the amount of advice is told by the rest of the sentence.

@FushigiNashi@FushigiNashi but you gave me the example of the cookie and the soup and I can actually say a cookie or a soup but I can't say an advice... how's that???

a cookie is a countable object. One cookie, two cookies
soup is soup no matter how you look at it. If it is still in a pot on the stove, then there is a lot of soup. If it is in a bowl, then it is "some soup" or "a bowl of soup." You eat a "spoonful of soup"
A person is like the pot of soup. They have a lot of advice in their head, but they may only need to give you a "piece of advice"

For clarity, yes, you can order one soup or two soups from a restaurant. I wasn't really thinking about that when I originally posted.
But when you have soup in front of you, it is still soup no matter how much I break it up.
I have 3 cookies. I eat one. I now have 2 cookies. I eat one. I now have one cookie.
I have soup. I eat some of it. I still have soup. I eat some more. I still have soup.
If you don't like the soup metaphor, then go back to water. (not bottles of water, just the general concept of water)
