I tried to copy paste the Advent of Code puzzles into the chat, and it just spewed out code that worked like it was nothing. It worked for the day 1 and day 2 puzzels. I’m impressed it also “remembered” that I wanted the result as JavaScript


For what it's worth, this is likely one of the easier puzzles you could give it because there are so many solutions in a number of languages all over the web.


The training set is limited to 2021 and earlier and it sounds like the GP asked for solutions to yesterday's Advent of Code puzzle.


Yes correct. It does however still explain in detail what needs to happen (I omitted the results for the sample data’s).

Why are you so snarky? Yes, of course this won't solve things it has never seen in its training set. It's not an AGI. But so what? It's still amazing nontheless. Is your point that since it's not "intelligent" we should dismiss it?


I've interacted with that account before and they were always snarky, as if their test they made is the arbiter of intelligence and that we shouldn't be so impressed by AI that to me is actually impressive.


You don't test on the training set.

Everybody in ML (e.g., me) knows that.

But that's what we're seeing.

I'm saying: "Here's a test outside the training set."


I had to go back and reread GPs comment because I didn’t sense any snark the first time. Still not sure if I do.


That's right. There was no snark intended.


He's just spamming his website in every thread related to ML. The snark gets more attention.

You can't do this here. I've banned the account, and have redacted the identifying info from your comment.

Ooh could you email me what he said? It's in my profile. Really curious what sort of identifying info of me he was showing off.
