As far as I have tried, at least chatgpt basically cannot do brainfuck. I think it might just be too far from natural language. It basically just gives you hello worlds with randomly injected characters.

Doesn't ChatGPT excel at providing step-by-step instructions? That's kind of what Brainfuck is with only eight options for each step. I'd imagine that it could reach the end result using a combination of those eight options. Can it not?

Idk, I'd get nonfunctioning code. With explanations of what every piece of code does. Just that the code it is explaining, is actually gibbrish.

I wonder why. GPT-3 could do brainfuck just fine:

(though worse, for complex cases, to one of the compared systems - see figure 2) (oops, fully disclosure: the system in question is my PhD work).
