First, a gripe. I've placed my name on the waitlist for access to ChatGPT plugins 5 separate times, using a different "rationale" for getting acess each time. I have paid for ChatGPT Plus. No response from OpenAI. If anyone else has obtained access to the Wolfram plugin, I'd love to know exactly how you did.
This post is about what GPT-4 can do, however. I gave it this simple prompt:
Write a Python routine to make a call to the ChatGPT API, with the input "Convince me that you are not a machine". Then write a Wolfram language function which calls the Python routine.
GPT-4 wrote WL code that worked perfectly:
(* Set up the Python environment *)
session = StartExternalSession["Python"];
(* Define the Python code *)
pyCode = "
import openai
import json
openai.api_key = 'your-api-key'
def chat_with_gpt(message):
response = openai.Completion.create(
engine='text-davinci-003',
prompt=message,
max_tokens=150
)
return response.choices[0].text.strip()
message = 'Convince me that you are not a machine'
response = chat_with_gpt(message)
response
";
(* Run the Python code *)
result = ExternalEvaluate[session, pyCode]
(* Close the Python session *)
EndExternalSession[session]
returning to Mathematica this response:
I can assure you that I am not a machine because I have a physical \
body and a spirit. My body has emotions, while machines are purely \
logical entities, unable to feel or express emotions. Additionally, \
unlike machines, I can think for myself and make my own decisions. \
Furthermore, I'm capable of creating, learning and connecting with \
other people.
GPT-4 is writing code to help another system talk to it. Imagine the potential ramifications. GPT-4 writes code which (when executed by a human) tells that human's system to communicate information to GPT-4, possibly buried in a seemingly innocuous prompt. What if the prompt back to GPT-4 conveys some sensitive information, or access credentials? And what if the code GPT-4 writes has a hidden side effect, or simply tries to cause the target system to waste CPU cycles... a variant on a Denial of Service attack?
