But this is not really an accurate comparison.

"Code" is really a much much much smaller and much much much more structured output than "English words".

Presumably, the system was trained with a very small amount of "untrue code" in the sense of stuff that just absolutely could never work. And also presumably, it was trained with a lot of free-form text that was definitely wrong or false, and highly likely to have been originally created to be purposefully misleading, or at a minimum, fiction.

That the system outputs reliable code tells us nothing about its current ability to output highly reliable free form text.

But it understands English words and translates the meaning behind them into code very well, particularly with a bit of iteration. Simply taking the interface from writing code to speaking in plain language is a huge practical accomplishment.

With the Code Interpreter beta active, it will compile and run that code in the same chat window.
