Author says "It is the most amazing thing I have seen an LLM do, and it was unprompted, entirely accidental." and then jumps back to the "beginning of the story". Including talking about a trip to Canada.
Skip to the section headed "The Ultimate Test" for the resolution of the clickbait of "the most amazing thing...". (According to him, it correctly interpreted a line in an 18th century merchant ledger using maths and logic)
The new model may or may not be great at handwriting but I found the author's constant repetition about how amazing it was irritating enough to stop reading and to wonder if the article itself was slop-written.
"users have reported some truly wild things" "the results were shocking" "the most amazing thing I have seen an LLM do" "exciting and frightening all at once" "the most astounding result I have ever seen" "made the hair stand up on the back of my neck"
You're never gonna believe #6!
