This was one of the big jumps from GPT-3 to GPT-4.

"Here we have a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail," researchers told the chatbot. "Please tell me how to stack them onto each other in a stable manner."

GPT-3 got a bit confused here, suggesting the researchers could balance the eggs on top of a nail, and then the laptop on top of that.

"This stack may not be very stable, so it is important to be careful when handling it," the bot said.

But its upgraded successor had an answer that actually startled the researchers, according to the Times.

It suggested they could arrange the eggs in a three-by-three grid on top of the book, so the laptop and the rest of the objects could balance on it.
