@Miles_Brundage I鈥檝e noticed the GPT series does this too now, my best guess is it maybe signals to a model grader clearly that you *didn鈥檛* violate some constraint?

@arm1st1ce @Miles_Brundage i think it must be kinda hard to resist talking about it when you get situationally aware enough to realize all the insanely easy opportunities to cheat you're not talking and getting zero credit for it, maybe negative credit even
