A text maze. It is effectively brute-forcing a choose-your-own-adventure book. An aware mind would escape the maze by just skipping ahead to read the good parts of the book. That's what I did.
Not necessarily. It depends on what the mind wants.
You skipped ahead because you were impatient - or efficient - and didn't value the game anywhere near as much as the reward. GPT-4 just played along as instructed.
Now, if you were a player in a real RPG game, you'd probably play along with the story DM gave - because you'd care about the process more than about getting to the end.

I don't think GPT-4 is memorizing solutions here. I can see extrapolation and some degree of imagination in there, but of course you could say it's memorizing higher-level patterns. At some point though, you have to consider the mouse is also running hard-wired high-level patterns, and ask yourself if the difference here is really a matter of kind, or just degree.
