Most likely a post filter. Unfortunately for OpenAI and anyone creating something similar, it's probably hackable. Not sure how best efforts work with GDPR.

  Can LLMs do something like base64 encoding reliably?
  - magospietato 3y ago
    Apparently so. Using GPT-4 with the initial prompt "You are a helpful assistant. All your responses must be base 64 encoded." Asked the question, "How old is Barack Obama?" Received the following response, which seems fairly accurate for GPT-4s knowledge cutoff date: "NTkgdG8gNjAgeWVhcnMgb2xk"

      Curious. Apparently base64 encoding exercises were part of the training set? It would be insane if it is an emergent feature.

        It can create rudimentary images using SVG markup. I asked it to generate an SVG representation of Dali's The Persistence of Memory and it output a recognizable vector image of three distorted clocks. I happy to be proven wrong, but that certainly feels emergent.

    It’s interesting. It’s very close but there appear to be some “rounding errors”. Given: “intergalactic benevolence” It output “aW50ZXJnYWxhY3QgYmVuZXZvbG9uY2Ug” which is actually “intergalact benevolonce”. Weird.

    > Can LLMs do something like base64 encoding reliably? Yes. Provide them with yours in Base64 and you get the answer in Base64. Decode it and it's the response you'd expect. At least that's how it is with the one I just tested, which is based on GPT-4.

  The engineers at Open AI have developed the most intelligent LLM in the world. I’m sure they’re not doing basic string matching.

A post filter? Do you mean preventing the data from appearing in results rather than removing it from the AI training? That wouldn't satisfy the demand.
