Am I missing something? The article seems to suggest it works via hidden text characters. Has OpenAI never heard of pasting text into a utf8 notepad before?

    Few years ago the output of GPT was complete gibberish and few years before that even producing such gibberish would’ve been impressive.

    It doesn’t take anyone’s job untill it does.

      That’s not really true. Older GPTs were already really good. Did you ever see SubredditSimulator? I’m pretty sure that first came around like 10 years ago.

        They were good for about a paragraph, maybe less.

        As soon as they reached the attention limit they started talking gibberish.

        The first time I saw text written by GPT it all seemed alright at first glance but once you started to actually read it was immediately obvious it had no idea what it was talking about. It was grammatically correct nonsense.
