I asked for a list of words, and asked to remove any words ending in the letter a. It couldn't do it. I could fight my way there, but the next revision added some back.
For that to work, it would need to create a Python script that would remove all of the words ending with A, run that script, and then give you the results. I think this process of handling user requests is in the works.
It would not HAVE to do that, it just is much harder to get it to happen reliably through attention, but it's not impossible. But offloading deterministic tasks like this to typical software that can deal with them better than an LLM is obviously a much better solution.
But this solution isn't "in the works", it's usable right now.
Working without python:
It left out the only word with an f, flourish. (just kidding, it left in unfathomable. Again... less reliable.)
