If AI can now speak Italian, it can certainly replace us...

The thing that I find the most funny about this post, is the fact that you call this Italian

how am i supposed to know how italians speak. i've never seen one
- From my experience, they speak mostly with their hands
- They're not real, but they can hurt you.
- It's a me, Mario!
Typical 'muricans being unable to comprehend anything besides English.

/s i don't mean to be racist

yes i was a r/2we4u user, how'd you know?

Let me simplify it: proceeds to print the same expression

Typical AI behavior

Edit: and then it will gaslight you if you say the answer is the same.
- Fucking hate when do that.
  
  You are repeating the same mistake.
  
  I'm sorry for repeating the same mistake, here's a new solution with corrections *proceed to write the exactly thing already told it was wrong*
Nope, they replaced an asterisk with an arrow!
- Oh, right, now I get it!
Gotta remember they were trained off of the internet. Which is to say the largest body of people loadly professing the opinions are fact and refusing to say otherwise.

Which language uses these signs? It truly looks like some kind of alien language

Glagolitic script. Oldest known Slavic alphabet according to Wikipedia.
I would like to know too! Never saw that writing system before.
APL?
Unown
I think it's the Ge'ez script used in Ethiopian.
- That’s what I thought I saw too

This might be happening because of the 'elegant' (incredibly hacky) way openai encodes multiple languages into their models. Instead of using all character sets, they use a modulo operator on each character, to make all Unicode characters represented by a small range of values. On the back end, it somehow detects which language is being spoken, and uses that character set for the response. Seeing as the last line seems to be the same mathematical expression as what you asked, my guess is that your equation just happened to perfectly match some sentence that would make sense in the weird language.

Do you have a source for that? Seems like an internal detail a corpo wouldn't publish
- Can't find the exact source–I'm on mobile right now–but the code for the gpt-2 encoder uses a utf-8 to unicode look up table to shrink the vocab size. https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/encoder.py
I suppose it's conceivable that there's a bug in converting between different representations of Unicode, but I'm not buying and of this "detected which language is being spoken" nonsense or the use of character sets. It would just use Unicode.

The modulo idea makes absolutely no sense, as LLMs use tokens, not characters, and there's soooooo many tokens. It would make no sense to make those tokens ambiguous.
- I completely agree that it's a stupid way of doing things, but it is how openai reduced the vocab size of gpt-2 & gpt-3. As far as I know–I have only read the comments in the source code– the conversion is done as a preprocessing step. Here's the code to gpt-2: https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/encoder.py I did apparently make a mistake, as the vocab reduction is done through a lut instead of a simple mod.

Damn, wild Glagolitic script found. I didn't even realise it was in the Unicode standard.

Well, it certainly doesn't overflow on 32 bit systems

That's not italian that's obviously Unown

It looks so badass, I could have used that script now because im Ukrainian but instead I have cyrillic script which is so boring

rebel against Russian imperialism, return to glagolitic
- It's not russian, If my bulgarian friend is right then it was created by a bulgarian guy
- Cyrillic is literally greek+glagolitic and it was partly a diplomatic creation of the Eastern Roman Empire(aka Byzantine Empire), in order to bring the slavs culturally closer to them.
  
  Russians have nothing to do with it, other than them claiming they are the continuation of Eastern Roman Empire, something which is kinda laughable but whatever dont let your dreams be dreams.
