A while back I encoded the message "Can you read this?" in rot13 (or something very similar) and sent it to chatGPT[. It answered back (yes) in with a sentence in rot13. Why could it do that but not count letters?

At the VERY beginning I asked it to reverse a hash, and was stunned that it was able to. This was in that first moment when the transformer burst on the scene.

Turned out it just knew that particular string because it was on the internet. I don’t recall exactly but it was probably “hello world” or something like that.

Anyway to your specific question, many of the models call Python tools behind the scenes now.
