Thanks to some heroic software engineering by our team and by OpenAI , ChatGPT can now call on Wolfram|Alpha—and Wolfram Language as well—to give it what we might think of as “computational superpowers”. And in the end, as we’ll discuss later, that’s a more flexible and powerful way to communicate. But what about from the ChatGPT side?

I should say at the outset that I’m going to focus on the big picture of what’s going on—and while I’ll mention some engineering details, I won’t get deeply into them. It turns out that the chain rule of calculus in effect lets us “unravel” the operations done by successive layers in the neural net.

And in general to achieve a “ pathological result ” we’ll typically have to “reverse engineer” the underlying computational irreducibility of the system—which we won’t be able to do with a reference frame constructed by a computationally bounded observer. Imagine for example that one has a neural net with a certain architecture.
