It's not running any code. It's a set of billions of numeric constants that are summed up and calculated against an input string to generate a new string. That's all it does... it's not running code, it has no capability to run code.

It can _pretend_ to run code by telling you output it thinks would happen if code you described is run, but nowhere is that code actually running. It's making it all up and just generating text.



I know what an LLM is, thank you.

Writing an external program that interacts with Bing and gives it the opportunity to execute arbitrary code would be simple enough.

The open question in my comment is how to ensure it can learn from the results.


It can make HTTP requests to URLs. Can it post data to them? What if that data is code, and then the endpoint is configured to execute it?
