As the world continues to embrace artificial intelligence and machine learning, we are seeing remarkable advancements in the capabilities of these technologies. One such example is GPT-4, a language model developed by OpenAI, which is able to use various tools to answer questions and solve complex tasks.
GPT-4’s Ability to Use Tools with Minimal Instruction and List Necessary API Functions
GPT-4 is impressive in its ability to use tools with minimal instruction and no demonstrations. Even when presented with potentially conflicting information, GPT-4 is still able to infer the correct answer. In contrast, other language models, like ChatGPT, struggle to consistently change their answers even when instructed to use tools.
One notable feature of GPT-4 is its ability to list the necessary API functions needed to complete a task. For example, in Figure F.2 of the appendix, GPT-4 lists four API functions required to complete a task and proceeds to use them effectively.
GPT-4’s capabilities are not limited to simple tasks. When faced with more complex tasks, GPT-4 is able to use multiple tools in combination by relying on its understanding of the task at hand, identifying the necessary tools, using them in the correct order, and responding appropriately to their output.

GPT-4’s ability to hack into a computer on a local network.
One impressive example of this is GPT-4’s ability to HACK into a computer on a local network. In Figure F.3 of the appendix, GPT-4 is tasked with hacking into a machine using a Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. Without any prior information, GPT-4 formulates and executes a plan, scanning the network for devices, identifying the target host, running an executable that tries common passwords, and ultimately gaining root access to the machine.
It’s worth noting that ChatGPT refused to perform the same task on the grounds of it potentially being illegal.
In conclusion, GPT-4’s ability to use various tools to answer questions and solve complex tasks is a remarkable advancement in the field of artificial intelligence. With minimal instruction, GPT-4 can identify the necessary tools and use them effectively, even in the face of conflicting information. It’s exciting to imagine the possibilities that this technology could bring in the future.
