Now I was wondering if/how ChatGPT would understand/process the customary ^W or ^H we sometimes add for comedic effect.
Excerpt of a 3.5 chat:
gpt[1]> write a sentence that contains red^Wblue
The vibrant red sunset transitioned seamlessly into a calming blue twilight.
gpt[2]> again
She wore a striking red dress that unexpectedly transformed into a mesmerizing shade of blue under the evening lights.
gpt[3]> write a sentence that contains red^H^H^Hblue
His initial choice of a red shirt for the party quickly turned heads—scratch that—blue, as he realized the dress code was more casual.
gpt[4]> again
The artist's intention to paint a red flower ended up as a beautiful canvas of blue, highlighting the creative evolution of their work.
gpt[5]> write a sentence that contains red and blue
She decorated the room with a vibrant mix of red and blue accents, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere for the celebration.
Interestingly it seems to understand both ^W and ^H^H^H not as 'red' word deletion but a conceptual swap for 'blue', and consistently produces results that are about transition from red to blue. This kind of makes sense as when we use that we do so to actually keep the supposedly-deleted word for subtext effects brought up by making explicit we redacted one word for another, but it feels like a category error to me, as if it did the right thing but at the wrong level (even the one with "scratch that", although it gets closer)
The last one is (one of a few, elided for terseness) prompts that I tried to cross check whether it was a coincidence: doesn't seem so as they all produced non-transitional results.

Can't test 4.0, wondering how it tackles that.
