I entered "I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do no write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this]. My first command is pwd."

then I typed:

vi newfile.txt

it spewed out a bunch of tildes

Then I typed "i" and it just returns a blank box.

Now whatever I type it returns a black box and I can't quit vim.

So ChatGPT is definitely capable of simulating what it's like to accidentially open vim on a linux terminal and not know how to quit!
