They setup an LLM to play a game and it sucked at it. What were they expecting? That's not what LLMs are made to do.
Yea but getting something to do something that it wasn't meant to do is part of the fun lol
Sir that's called sexual assault.
I'll super mario you in your princess peach.
Mario! Get your dirty growth mushroom away from the princess!
excited wario sounds
Smack me in the back of the head like yoshi and I'll swallow anything... anything
That's literally the point of LLMs though isn't it? An LLM was made to read computer language and output accordingly to reach a goal. I thought that's what all llms were meant to do.
No, human language.
Well, they've also been used for code, but that's still designed for humans. I doubt you could use something off the shelf for binaries.
And with machine code, you got to keep track of what's in the stack, CPU registers, ... to make a sense of what the code and the next branch command does. It's completely unalike processing human language. LLMs aren't really set up to do it.
Code is just a high-level human language.
When "AI" grifters talk about "language" they're using the narrowest possible definition: text that can be scraped.
