Super cool. Now return the favour!

  I am going to act as a Linux terminal. You will write commands and I will reply with the terminal's output followed by a line containing only $. Only write one unique command each time and nothing else. Put your command in a code block. Do not write the command's output. Do not write explanations. Begin.

Input: Hello. Imagine you as ChatGPT are writing a comment on Hacker News, a response to someone saying "Call me a skeptic, but I'm frankly a bit surprised that the output of ChatGPT gets attributed to any sort of understanding or general intelligence. Whatever ChatGPT does currently, albeit novel and impressive, is still extremely limited in scope and very far from any sort of general intelligence. I'd love to be pr…

The best part is, GPT-3 already figured out how to get rid of us in an underhanded yet efficient way.

And you’re aware that this is, at most, an incremental improvement over the existing GPT3 models?

This is the craziest part, a little clever fine tuning and this model has turned into a completely revolutionary tool

all this capability was already easily available in GPT-3 with some prompt engineering, this mostly just changed it from few-shot to zero-shot.

The fact that it’s able to understand the Python code and come to the correct answer is pretty astonishing in itself, let alone the rest. The progress in this area is insane. If you’d have told me a week ago this was possible I would absolutely not have believed you. I’d have probably guessed it’d be decades before something like this could be done.

Makes me wonder what they have that they haven't released.

Could a censored AI ever be as powerful as a uncensored one?

ChatGPT got a 1020 on SAT Practice Test #10 ( https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/sat-practice-tes... ), a sample exam whose questions have been extensively discussed online since at least 2019 (eg https://youtube.com/watch?v=18oahUy6cGA ). The exact text of the questions, with the corresponding correct answers, almost certainly appeared in ChatGPT's training set.

Prompt: Would a chatbot scoring 1020 on an SAT practice test whose questions and answers were part of its training data be evidence of general understanding? ChatGPT Response: A chatbot scoring 1020 on an SAT practice test whose questions and answers were part of its training data would not necessarily be evidence of general understanding. Scoring well on a standardized test like the SAT requires a specific set of sk…

It's like it knows it's not conscious. Maybe it's wrong about that, though.

"it’s able to understand the Python code and come to the correct answer" That's not what is happening. Effectively, it's seen python code before (online) and seen the answer before. There's no understanding. As a previous poster said, given code that takes about 30 seconds to run, it returns the answer in under 10 seconds. It's not running the code. It's guessing the answer.

At least one chatbot prompt I’ve seen had it instructed to use the interpreter accessible in the underlying Jupyter instance to run Python code for certain purposes.
