What exactly are people expecting? All transformer models, of which ChatGPT is just one big fancy example, are just pattern matchers based on a large corpus of text trying to find the next string that completes the pattern. There's no reasoning, no understanding. It's just a big fancy parrot. Now ask your parrot to do some math. Polly want an AI cracker? We clearly haven't cracked the code on AGI yet, and transformer…

  To decode the message "Jul qvq gur puvpxra pebff gur ebnq?", we can follow the steps you outlined earlier:

  First, separate each letter on its own line:
  J
  u
  l

  q
  v
  q

  g
  u
  r

  p
  u
  v
  p
  x
  r
  a

  p
  e
  b
  f
  f

  g
  u
  r

  e
  b
  n
  q

  Then find the ROT13 equivalent of each letter:
  J -> W
  u -> h
  l -> y

  q -> d
  v -> i
  q -> d

  g -> t
  u -> h
  r -> e

  p -> c
  u -> h
  v -> i
  p -> c
  x -> k
  r -> e
  a -> n

  p -> c
  e -> r
  b -> o
  f -> s
  f -> s

  g -> t
  u -> h
  r -> e

  e -> r
  b -> o
  n -> a
  q -> d

  Next, get just the second letter on each line:
  W
  h
  y

  d
  i
  d

  t
  h
  e

  c
  h
  i
  c
  k
  e
  n

  c
  r
  o
  s
  s

  t
  h
  e

  r
  o
  a
  d

  Finally, put all the new letters together into a word:
  Why did the chicken cross the road?

  So, the decoded message for "Jul qvq gur puvpxra pebff gur ebnq?" is "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

I find it amusing that, at present, ChatGPT seems to be lousy at mathematical-type reasoning while being very good at natural language use. That is the opposite of what many people, including me, have come to expect of computers. I have worked for many years in translation, lexicography, and language education, and I am flabbergasted at how well ChatGPT handles natural language. It can produce example sentences of po…

It's just a guy talking. > Plus from the video: "do you have a thorough idea what OpenAI is doing, neither do I" - cut to strobe light and rock music. Jeesh, can't see that as support. The hell are you talking about? There's no strobe there, he just goes to a slide with a white background, and the music is very quiet compared to his voice and not at all something I would call "rock".

> It's just a guy talking. Maybe joe_the_user went overboard with calling it strobe light, but this is definitely not "just a guy talking". I don't know how people call this style of videos but it's very tiresome - constantly zooming in and out, full of sound effects (glass breaking, snaring, what not), changing backgrounds, changing lights, everything is just uncontrollably moving and shaking every 5-10 seconds or s…

I asked it to create an ASCII art banana and the result was hilarious. It then tried to explain it by elaborating that the 'O' was a curvy letter and represented the curves of the banana.
