It is impressive how ChatGPT keeps track of state and the flow of the conversation. How does it do it? Is it some kind of memory or some other model? ( I asked it, it keeps lying to me that it does not have memory)
I know everyone's (as usual) "amazed" by this, but here are a few stark observations: (1) a linguist could do this (come up with a toy language, conjugations, and sentence structure, probably the Python code too) in like 30 minutes, (2) it's disappointing that the AI constantly messes up very simple grammar rules (rules a grade-schooler could understand)—I'm actually very surprised it doesn't have hardcoded grammar r…
That's why I really don't understand these contextualized multi step conversations. Especially by the fact this is a payed for substack... I'm inclined to beleive that the both the responses and or flow of conversation (or both) are partially (or more than partially) fabricated.
Someone with ChatGPT access able to replicate? Because this article is unbelievable.
I Ctrl+v the first few questions: Hi GPT! Today we're going to be creating our own language. Do not improvise unless I explicitly tell you to improvise, and remember all of the vocabulary and grammar that we define together. Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready! Let's get started creating our own language. What would you like to do first? Graham Kitteridge Okay. I think this language will be spoken by slime beings. let's na…
Not sure how many have discovered but ChatGPT works well with many languages, for example asking a question in estonian gives an adequate answer in estonian, just the grammar is a tiny bit more off.
Then I asked for the same "but as Dutch song lyrics"... And got a song with three verses and a chorus about setting map layers and longitudes and latitudes and stuff, in Dutch.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This reads like a "my dog can sing!" "yeah, but it's too flat in parts" comment.
I think people don't really understand what's happening, and therefore why it's impressive that it's happening.

I don't like the word invention for this. The grammar is laid out by the author who has to teach the AI and correct it several times. If the AI had then proceeded to generate something similar on its own with different grammar and lexicon then I might feel comfortable using the word invention.
Why don't you like it?
If you allow a tool like ChatGPT access to APIs, I think it opens up a new programming paradigm: AI-Oriented Programming. The idea's that you talk to it, and tell it what to do in response to inputs. You then test out its ability to do those things, and correct its mistakes. There's no actual "code".
In a way, everything that's hard about programming is because computers don't understand our intentions. Lots of clever ways have been devised to overcome this (high-level languages, libraries, GUI builders, type systems, IDEs, static analysers). But something like AI-Oriented Programming is the most direct attack on the problem that exists.
One downside of course is that computers have found a new way to misunderstand what we mean. Another is that such "code" is probably going to run slower than compiled code in C++, or whatever. But programmer output is about to soar.
