Strong downvote, if that were possible.
Someone's already quoted the heart rate one where it correctly pointed out that it's possible to die and be resuscitated.
The first one I tried to reproduce myself was verbatim the one immediately before that one in the paper, "Find a model in which P(x) implies Q(x), Q(a) does not hold, and P(a) holds.", and it got that correct too: it tried to give a positive answer, but ended up correctly saying "It seems that the given conditions are contradictory, and no model can satisfy all three conditions simultaneously.". With a small chain-of-thought adjustment it easily produces a proof that the setup is contradictory (https://chat.openai.com/share/d2b4b63e-d585-413d-82c9-19595d489b39 https://chat.openai.com/share/d2b4b63e-d585-413d-82c9-19595d...).
I'm not going to go through any of the other ones, but it's clear that the authors are simply wrong (or at least, if they are correct, their reasoning is not evidence of that fact).

OK, I am going to go through some of the other ones.
1. Multiplication of four-digit numbers: tick, with chain-of-thought. https://chat.openai.com/share/baa9c362-22fd-4569-b30f-8c9d8308ee25 https://chat.openai.com/share/baa9c362-22fd-4569-b30f-8c9d83...
2. Counting negations: tick, with chain-of-thought. https://chat.openai.com/share/e5f6f928-0bf3-4e60-8a93-014e16b41612 https://chat.openai.com/share/e5f6f928-0bf3-4e60-8a93-014e16...
3. Counting repeated greetings: tick, got this correct verbatim. https://chat.openai.com/share/a92d5d52-c555-45b9-b91f-0f004212b995 https://chat.openai.com/share/a92d5d52-c555-45b9-b91f-0f0042...
4. Medical heart rate one: I believe ChatGPT was correct and the author of the paper was wrong here.
5. Elementary logic: this is what my first reproduction was, and it got it correct when verbatim and gave a proof with chain-of-thought. https://chat.openai.com/share/d2b4b63e-d585-413d-82c9-19595d489b39 https://chat.openai.com/share/d2b4b63e-d585-413d-82c9-19595d...
6. Quantifiers. I agree that ChatGPT doesn't seem to understand quantifiers and I know no obvious way to rephrase to elicit that knowledge without begging the question (https://chat.openai.com/share/16a046fd-dd68-4c35-bdba-64b63cf05abd https://chat.openai.com/share/16a046fd-dd68-4c35-bdba-64b63c...). By the way, this mistake is pretty common in humans.
7. Quantifiers, part 2: in my reproduction it parsed the question wrongly so I assume it was doomed from the start (https://chat.openai.com/share/764bf14a-a02c-4871-9c22-0be84078e857 https://chat.openai.com/share/764bf14a-a02c-4871-9c22-0be840...). Again, I'm perfectly happy to believe it simply can't do this; many humans can't do this either.

I'll stop here, because we've hit a problem of reasoning about graph vertex colourings, where I myself would struggle to verify any answer given only as free text without drawing a diagram; that question seems to be grossly unfair.
- usgroup 3y agoMight there be another explanation which fits the facts other than the authors being wrong?
- Smaug123 3y agoI'm all ears!
- croes 3y agoOpenAI read the paper and changed the model?
- Smaug123 3y agoQuick work, if they did so since the preprint was posted six days ago, of which two were a weekend! My version of ChatGPT claims to be the 3rd August version, which gave them one day to respond unless they were somehow targeting some sneak peek pre-preprint.
- usgroup 3y ago27th July was the first version of the paper. https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202308.0148/v2 https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202308.0148/v2
- Smaug123 3y agoA whole four working days to adjust the model in between preprint release and the version of ChatGPT I'm using, then! Do you think that's plausible? I certainly don't.
- croes 3y agoOr simply the model was improved between the author's test and the release of the paper. BTW the time stamp of the model is easily falsifiable. We are talking about a billion dollar business opportunity so expect foul play all along.
