Et viola.
- propter_hoc 3y agoFYI, it's "voilà", not "viola." A viola is a string instrument similar to a violin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola "Voilà" is a contraction of the phrase "vois là" meaning "see there."

- raincole 3y agoBut it's just not how GPT-4 works. If it works that way internally, it'll be very consistently decoding base64. It actually fails from time to time for longer inputs. You projecting your thoughts onto GPT-4. It's how a human will solve this problem. It's a perfectly valid solution, but it doesn't mean GPT-4 does that.
- cjbprime 3y ago> presumably if you ask it to execute that same code for a input example you provide, it will. GPT-4 is run sandboxed, without the ability to execute code. The only way it can execute code is by attempting to simulate the algorithms, from its understanding of the provided code, during its inference pass. So it does that when it can, oftentimes with mistakes because it doesn't have actual access to working memory other than through tokens that it outputs.
