This comment reminded me that when my generation is old and I am grandma, I could be like, let grandma type on her mechanical keyboard to help you sleep. XD We’ll be the cool old people XD
You should probably watch Enderman. He unlocked Windows 11 Pro using Windows 7 Ultimate keys generated by ChatGPT. It took 3 regenerations, but a key did pass the online check.
Fun fact: If you google those codes you find out that they are “real” codes, but they don’t actually activate Windows. I think they are something that are used as placeholders in the upgrade from Windows 8 to 10 or something, but don’t know the specifics.
ChatGPT actually can’t create new “words”, just regurgitate words that it’s seen somewhere before!
That isn’t actually what’s important. It’s the frequency of the token, which could be as simple as single characters. The frequency of those is certainly not zero.
LLMs absolutely can make up new words, word combinations, or sentences.
That’s not to say chatgpt can actually give you good windows keys, but it isn’t a fundamental limitation of LLMs.
I’ve never ever, in many hours of playing with ChatGPT as a toy, had it make up a word. Hallucinate wildly, yes, but not stogulate a word out of nothing.
I’d love to know more, though. How does it combine new words? Do you have any examples of words ChatGPT has made up? This is fascinating to me, as it means the model is much less chained to the training data than I thought.
A lot of compound words are actually multiple tokens so there’s nothing stopping the LLM from generating the tokens in a new order thereby creating a new word.
Cool until you realise Grandma is senile and can’t actually think beyond piecing together text they’ve seen before into what they think is a coherent response.
Those keys will absolutely not work, either because they’ve already been used and were scraped from training data, or they are fake keys generated based on said training data.
I tried it myself and looked the keys up. It gives you generic keys. They will work and let you install Windows, but they aren’t “valid” keys so to speak. At the same time, they aren’t “fake” either

Thanks grandma.

I take it chatGPT does not give you windows 10 codes if you ask about it directly? You just have to trick it a little OG Grandma style?😅
tbh the keys are probably fake

This is so nostalgic to me. I left windows many years ago and seeing those keys reminded me how I used to try and get those keys etc. :)
You left it for the better. Anything above Windows 7 is basically spyware now.
Yup I saw it coming in Win 7 and havent used windows since :)
There was an article about Barr actually giving people real keys, so they might be…

Yep yep, statistical analysis as to the frequency of tokens in the training text.
Brand new, never-before-seen Windows keys have a frequency of zero occurrences per billion words of training data.

Okay, I’ll take your word for it.
