So, I just tried this. I pasted 60 letter A's into GTP4 and asked it to count, it got it wrong, but I repeatedly said "count again" and nothing else, so as to not give it any hints. Here's GTP4's guesses along the way as I repeatedly said "count again".
69, 50, 100, 70, 68, 60, 60, 60, 60 (GTP gathered its own guesses into this list for me BTW)
It seems if GTP is given "attention" enough, it can do the counting. But it cannot direct its attention freely, only as we give it instruction to do so.
I just did it again with 66 letter A's. Guesses were: 100, 100, 98, 67, 66, 66, 66, 66 -- GTP4 again settled on the correct answer. I also burned though my prompt quota for the next 3 hours :(
Also, as a GTP style challenge, how many numbers are in this message? You have half-a-second, go!
Aside: I've become so overexposed to the acronym "GPT" from months of completely breathless hype that I'm taken aback whenever I see it consistently misspelled as e.g. GTP. Feels like the equivalent of seeing someone inexplicably write about "chainblock technology."
