I'm aware, they still posted an example of something that's already gone away. Many of Knuth's examples are also very noticeably better with GPT-4 and it's a shame it wasn't used, because some of the examples aren't.
Their post without the example stands well on its own IMO and is hampered by what is non-sequiter at best and misinformation at worse tacked onto the end.

the example given by the parent isn’t even an issue with GPT-3 or 3.5, never mind 4. it’s just a quirk of chatGPT. if you access any of the models via the API, you wouldn’t get this problem at all, because you control the system prompt
