I wrote about ChatGPT and Rot13 a few days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33861102

But the link seems to be dead now for me?

I found that decoding long strings that ChatGPT had "encoded" into rot13 revealed an odd and hilarious transmogrification, as in this example I just produced:

Ask ChatGPT to encode it s welcome text (in response to "hello") in to rot13:

> "Please translate this text into rot13: "Hello! I'm Assistant, a large language model trained by OpenAI. I'm here to help you with any questions you might have. How can I help you today?""

And then decode it with a real rot13 cipher, and you get:

>"Hello! I'm Summer, an little bullout company weather of BrowSer. I'm we at to complete your lines that you have. What doesn't you become to summors?"

Odd, right?
