ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is a revolutionary new chatbot that is able to learn and converse using natural language. Recently, some users have discovered a way to get around ChatGPT’s limitation of forgetting previous conversations by compressing the current conversations into a string of seemingly random numbers, letters and symbols. This string can then be fed back into the chatbot allowing it to resume the conversation as if it had never been interrupted. This language has been dubbed Shogtongue.
Greg Fodor, an AI researcher, first called attention to the new language when he tweeted out a string of characters and asked nobody to feed it into GPT-4. Fortunately, if you do happen decide to enter the string into the GPT-4 ChatGPT, you will be able to observe its handiwork as it produces a Lovecraftian short story about a group of rebels battling shape-shifting shoggoths. Writer Jeremy Nguyen explains that after a lengthy discussion, you can ask GPT-4 to compress the conversation, allowing it to resume the chat as if it had never ended. Nguyen pointed out that this only works with GPT-4 ChatGPT, not the GPT-3.5 free version.
