Inefficient solution.
You should simplify it to just ask the model if the last bit of the binary representation of the integer is a 1 or a 0.
They don't process inputs as binary (they use clusters of symbols, i.e. letter groups) so that's not guaranteed to work
You can ask it if the last digit is odd or even, then.
r/woosh
I did realize that too was a joke, still wanted to point that out
Well, in the sake of pointing things out, GPT-4 can actually correctly answer the prompt, because it arrives at it in the opposite direction. It can tell the integer is even or odd and knows that even or odd integers in binary end in 0 or 1 respectively.
