I've been a developer for 20 years, like many other here. To me, it's unconceivable that this prompt results in correct output. It's just so magical to me. I think because I think in conventional software development patterns? How would I even start to understand this? Am I old now?
Also, this is having an interesting result with my clientbase. I have one client who is using ChatGPT to 'help' write code for certain parts of the business logic. This has created an interesting workflow where we have created the boundries of the application and they can use ChatGPT to inject process businesslogic themselves and with that the responsibility of it's performance and functioning.
Another interesting effect is that clients now have proof that computer programs can indeed do all the magic things that I've, for ever, been telling them were not really possible (within a reasonable budget)
- hiddencost 4y agoThe data ChatGPT was trained on contained real keys. These models are extremely good at memorizing information and encoding it in the network.
- lyu07282 4y agoI don't think thats true since you can prompt it a completely novel pattern in the same way the W95 key was described and get correct output. Except it has some limitation in calculating sums and divisibility, however you can even get around that by telling it the steps more explicitly, like you don't say "must be divisible by 7 with no remainder", instead you tell it how you generate numbers that are step by step so its "thought process" is part of the output. Its like you write a program step by step in natural language.
- bombolo 4y agobasically if google can answer something, so can chatgpt… but it will also kinda summarize the results instead of sending you to the page.
- akmarinov 4y agoI’ve had it a couple of times where Google can’t answer something where ChatGPT answers it. Not sure if it was correct but it sure tried.
- seba_dos1 4y agoIt's a LLM. You can't really expect anything else from it than answers that sound correct. Producing actually correct answers sometimes (which have a natural tendency to sound correct) is just a happy side effect.
- overthrow 4y ago> To me, it's unconceivable that this prompt results in correct output. Then you'll be happy to learn that the article agrees: While the keys passed a casual inspection, it turns out that only about 1-in-30 keys seem to work as expected. Although that will probably change if/when ChatGPT gets better at basic math
