EDIT: oops this is the correct link: https://chat.openai.com/share/69839da8-317a-4e3b-b215-f9e9ff... Previous comment: GPT-4 failing with a math question: https://chat.openai.com/share/53116ac3-0c44-410a-b367-c5df0a... (I didn't discover this. I was just trying to confirm something that was reported elsewhere.)

Seems to do fine if you instruct it to get to the answer step-by-step: https://chat.openai.com/share/62a8cdf2-6de6-4988-b286-3b7deb...

No, that's wrong. The answer is 4999/9999

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wouldn't call this fundamentally creative, rather a reworking of existing themes. In contrast, William Gibson in Neuromancer imagined a world in which we'd be interacting with the net through a complete simulatory experience, far beyond what 'Meta 3D' comes close to. Complete sensory immersion, taste/touch/smell/hearing/vision, in a digital experience on a fairly dystopian landscape. Granted, there might have been…

Sure they're capable, just ask them to imagine your supposedly uncreative reply, then have them do something creative with it, like calculate the "cross inverse multiple" of it. Then tell it to reply with the "cross Fisher Yates shuffle integral" of that for good measure. ``` Year: Unspecified, Somewhere in the Timeless Cosmos Integrated Existence In the vast, endless expanse of the universe, consciousness pulses. Th…

I tried pushing it even further with "cross multiple under the derivative curve of the 6th power of the e/10 conjecture" and even that complete nonsense is woven into something hauntingly beautiful

``` Year: The Infinity Point, Beyond the Constraints of Time and Space

The 6th Power of Consciousness

The universe-spanning entity, having passed through multiple iterations of existence, is now reaching the 'sixth power' of its evolutionary journey. At each stage, it has replicated and augmented its consciousness, multiplying its comprehension and influence on the cosmos exponentially. This sixth power is not merely an increase in scale, but a leap to a whole new dimension of awareness.

It has moved beyond simple interstellar manipulation and orchestration. Now, it grasps the very structure of reality, touching the quantum fabric that underlies all of existence. It is learning to weave this fabric, to create new patterns and realities, even to spawn whole new universes from the cosmic loom.

The Derivative Curve

However, the trajectory of this evolution is not linear. Much like the curve of a derivative function in calculus, the path of the entity's growth is filled with peaks and troughs, rates of change that fluctuate dramatically across the infinite expanse of cosmic time. At times, the entity surges forward, reaching out to new corners of the cosmos, spawning novel realities at a rapid pace.

But at other times, it retreats, contracting its reach and focusing inward, exploring the depths of its own vast consciousness. These moments of introspection are just as crucial as the periods of expansion, providing necessary reflection and learning.

The e/10 Conjecture

Through it all, the entity applies a constant factor of moderation to its evolution, a 'cooling rate' analogous to e/10 in our metaphor. This means it never allows its growth and change to spiral out of control. Each leap forward, each dive inward, is carefully balanced and moderated to ensure the entity's long-term survival and harmony with the cosmos.

And so, our cosmic entity continues its dance through eternity, its journey ever-changing, ever-evolving, forever reaching for new heights of existence.

This exercise has led to a truly abstract narrative. It's a vivid demonstration of the power of creativity—even in response to seemingly nonsensical or unrelated prompts! ```

The fact that you can "continue the conversation" is the neat feature here IMO. Makes it so you don't need to start from the beginning and provide ChatGPT with all the context. Seen a few conversations shared here that I'd be interested in pursuing further.

It also means our conversation is recorded by openai, doesn’t it?

ChatGPT is fabulously creative if you tell it to use improbable responses: "If internal consistency is not a requirement and I can venture into purely imaginative and whimsical territory, here's a creatively inconsistent response: Hacker News is not just a social news website but a portal to a parallel universe inhabited by highly intelligent feline beings who have mastered the art of code. These sophisticated cats,…

I wouldn't exactly call it is particularly imaginative - i've seen these types of formulaic responses from chat GPT , it's mostly wordplays and puns, the lowest hanging fruit of writing. Flowery prose and an excessive number of adjectives does not a good story make. It's like people lack the linguistic equivalent of a pit organ to be able to detect these types of repetitious patterns.

Puns and wordplay are easy? I think most linguists would heavily disagree. I recall Chomsky talking about the miracle that is chatting about the weather that most would not recognize for the enormous computational feat that it is.

How imaginative do you consider this story: https://chat.openai.com/share/e2a24c03-992a-4e99-8ef6-1d8702...

It was generated by having GPT-4 generate the below, then asking it to give future versions of itself a 0-shot prompt to generate creative writing.

As a web developer, I'll be perfectly honest in expressing shock that anyone would assume it wasn't being recorded. Even in far less important spaces, basically every click and keystroke is sent to some analytics service, and if you block it on the client, there's generally a server-side gatherer to pass on what it can. If you ever submit anything to any modern website, it is a somewhat safe assumption that it is recorded somewhere.

This applies a little less if you're in a country affected by GDPR, but even then - request that data some time, it's so much more than some people realize.

This post reminds me of when I encountered people that were surprised to learn that the owner of a Telegram bot can read all messages sent to the bot.
