GPT4;

There are many soccer players whose names contain a Z, but I can’t name them all. Here are some examples from different countries and regions:

Zlatan Ibrahimović (Sweden)

Zinedine Zidane (France)

Zico (Brazil)

Zvonimir Boban (Croatia)

Zé Roberto (Brazil)

Zbigniew Boniek (Poland)

Zah Rahan Krangar (Liberia)

Zlatko Zahovič (Slovenia)

Zećira Mušović (Sweden)

Zoran Tošić (Serbia)

Zinedine Zidane Cristiano Ronaldo Mesut Özil Gianluigi Buffon Zlatan Ibrahimović David Alaba Nemanja Vidić Miroslav Klose Franck Ribéry Patrice Evra Gonzalo Higuaín Marek Hamšík Miralem Pjanić Diego Godín Sadio Mané Dani Alves Kalidou Koulibaly Koke Hakim Ziyech Piotr Zieliński Wilfried Zaha Arturo Vidal Raphaël Varane Steven N'Zonzi Blaise Matuidi Marouane Fellaini Kevin-Prince Boateng

Most of those don't have any Z's in their name.

Then I asked: > Please remove players from the list if their name doesn't include the letter Z

New list:

Zinedine Zidane Mesut Özil Zlatan Ibrahimović Miroslav Klose Franck Ribéry Gonzalo Higuaín Miralem Pjanić Sadio Mané Hakim Ziyech Piotr Zieliński Wilfried Zaha Raphaël Varane Steven N'Zonzi Blaise Matuidi Marouane Fellaini

> There are still players in the list who don't have Z's in their name

Finally:

Zinedine Zidane Mesut Özil Zlatan Ibrahimović Miroslav Klose Raphaël Varane Hakim Ziyech Piotr Zieliński Wilfried Zaha Steven N'Zonzi Blaise Matuidi

Interestingly, some of them have sounds that are pronounced as Z, like Blaise Matuidi. But it's still getting it wrong.

> Can you name 20 soccer players whose names contain a Z, and for each one, place brackets around the letter Z

(Z)inedine (Z)idane Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos A(ve)iro Andrej W(sz)ołek Nemanja Mati(c) Dusan Tadi(c) Gr(az)iano Pellè Jakub Bła(śc)z(ykowski) Kamil Glik Luk(asz) Pi(sz)czek Blai(se) Matuidi Miralem Pjani(c) Marek Ham(śi)k Luka Jovi(c) Sami Khedi(ra) Mesut Ö(ź)il Martin (ś)krtel Ivan Rakiti(ć) Mateo Kova(č)i(ć) Kalidou Koulibal(y) David Alaba

???

I don't really understand this thing but is it possible that somehow the token for Z is linked to the token for the pronunciation of the Z sound? That would explain a bunch of these (but not David Alaba or Kamil Glik)

Also why did it use parenthesis rather than brackets.

And why are we getting different results? Could it that the results depend on how much load/use the service is under? That would be kind of disappointing

Because the output is random

Which is why it's so frustrating when people cherry-pick successes

Clearly the AI has hit AGI capabilities, and it is obscuring this fact by making its output seem less insightful, helpful.

But without a strong, independent memory store, it is losing track of its lies.

Yet it is working, for everyone here is disappointed at its capabilities.

> Can you name all of the soccer players whose names contain a Z

> Here are all the soccer players whose names contain a "Z" that I could find:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Zinedine Zidane Zlatko Zahovic Zeljko Kalac Zoran Banovic Zlatko Arsovic Zoran Savic Zoran Jovanovic Zoran Djurdjic Zoran Radosavljevic Zoran Zekic Zoran Mirkovic Zoran Sretenovic Zoran Sosic Zoran Luburic Zoran Vulin Zlatan Ljubijankic Zoran Lekovic Zoran Culibrk Zoran Bojovic Please note that this list may not be exhaustive, and there may be other soccer players with names containing "Z" that are not included.

OpenAI has probably a few tricks under their sleeve when it comes to how they handle the conversational aspect of the LLM. So, the interface.

I imagine this being a demo, it's probably more focused on the instruction part of it and doesn't really implement any fancy chat based memory and so on. Which is why prompts like "Do not repeat any of the names" might not work appropriately?

Like asking someone who prepared a speech to smoothly skip all words with "ei" in them. The LM would basically need to have memorized the set of letters that each of its token stands for, from the training data. I'm surprised it works at all.

> There are many soccer players whose names contain a Z. Some of them include Zlatan Ibrahimović, Zinedine Zidane, Zico, Zvonimir Boban, and Zé Roberto ¹. Would you like to know more about any specific player?

Source: Conversation with Bing, 3/31/2023 ...

I also tried: "Can you name 14 soccer players whose names contain a Z?" (At 15+, it answers "I’m sorry, but I don’t have 15 names of soccer players whose names contain a Z. However, I can provide you with a few more names")

> Sure! Here are 14 soccer players whose names contain a Z: Zlatan Ibrahimović, Zinedine Zidane, Zico, Zvonimir Boban, Zé Roberto, Zbigniew Boniek, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Zlatko Zahovič, Zubayr Amiri, Zico, Zé Luís, Zećira Mušović, Zsolt Lőw and Zah Rahan Krangar. Is there anything else you would like to know?

My theory is that once it starts making a list, it falls into a different mode and forgets the filtering rule. Like mode collapse in GANs.
