If you believe a prompt of the form "hey, GPT A make yourself behave like GPT B" can be articulated to be a Chinese room, I put it to you the amount of missing information between what informs A and what informs B will make this a mountain of work.

Do you think it's less work than just making GPT B and why? What quality in the system (inductance aside) is this simply additive?

My strawman reads as "wishing for fairytales" basically. But this strawman to me, is the reductive intent inside the article. "Ask a GPT to perform like another later different GPT" epitomises magical thinking.

Why bother training if the recursive application is that simple? Because... it's not that simple.
