So here it has refused to have its hand held, and the output turns out to say WHT IS AVE YOU A THE NISH which seems kinda inspired by the input but can’t resist the lure of fishiness towards the end.
Yep, GPT is usually pretty good at picking up on patterns within prompts. You can also get it to do small ceaser shifts of short words with similar hand holding.
It’s possible to “hold its hand” so that it does better. I gave the following prompt:
Let’s translate some text into Morse code, step by step.
Start with some text:
THIS IS A TEST Split it up into letters.
T H I S / I S / A / T E S T
Translate each letter into Morse code:
- (T) …. (H) .. (I) … (S) / .. (I) … (S) / .- (A) / - (T) . (E) … (S) - (T)
Throw away the letters and just keep the Morse code:
- …. .. … / .. … / .- / - . … -
Here’s another example:
WHAT IS YOUR NAME
[--- here the prompt ends and GPT-3 output begins ---]
Split it up into letters.
W H A T / I S / Y O U R / N A M E
Translate each letter into Morse code
.-- (W) …. (H) .- (A) - (T) / .. (I) … (S) / -.-- (Y) --- (O) ..- (U) .- (R) / -. (N) .- (A) -- (M) . (E)
Throw away the letters and just keep the Morse code:
.-- …. .- - / .. … / -.-- --- ..- .- / -. .- -- .
Now try it yourself!
[--- here the GPT-3 output ends ---]
This is pretty decent. Unfortunately it translates R wrongly and ends up saying WHAT IS YOUA NAME, but at least there are no fish.
I tried holding its hand slightly less.
