Today at work I noticed a new chat popping up in my ChatGPT account - apparently one of the kids was home and found a new use for AI. He was proud to show me the results when I came home.

Chapter 3 of Eight Things to Know about Large Language Models notes "LLMs often appear to learn and use representations of the outside world". So apparently this is not limited to making drawings of pink unicorns, but also building 3D shapes of plastic bricks.

I did some reading up on LLMs, transformers, hidden states, encoders and decoders. But still i'm not totally sure how a language model is able to mentalize 3D representations of real world objects.

Yes, I can certainly make LEGO instructions. However, as a language model, I do not have access to the physical pieces required to create the instructions, nor do I have the ability to create visual images or diagrams. However, I can provide you with step-by-step written instructions on how to assemble a LEGO

Sure, I can provide you with instructions on how to build a simple LEGO chicken:

Step 1: Gather your LEGO pieces You will need the following LEGO pieces to build a basic LEGO chicken:

• 1 yellow brick (2x4)
• 1 yellow brick (2x2)
• 1 yellow brick (1x2)
• 1 white brick (2x2)
• 2 white bricks (1x2)
• 2 white plates (1x2)
• 2 black round plates (1x1)

Step 2: Build the chicken body Start by placing the yellow brick (2x4) on a flat surface. Then, attach the yellow brick (2x2) to the top of the yellow brick (2x4), centered on one end. Attach the yellow brick (1x2) to the other end of the yellow brick (2x4), creating the body of the chicken.

Step 3: Build the chicken head Take the white brick (2x2) and attach it to the front of the chicken body. Then, attach the two white bricks (1x2) to the sides of the white brick (2x2) to form the head of the chicken.

Step 4: Add the chicken beak and eyes Take the yellow plate (1x1) and attach it to the front of the chicken head, centered on the white brick (2x2). Then, attach the two black round plates (1x1) to the yellow plate (1x1), creating the chicken's eyes and beak.

Step 5: Add the chicken feet Take the two white plates (1x2) and attach them to the bottom of the chicken body, at the end opposite the head, creating the chicken's feet.

You now have a simple LEGO chicken! You can add more details, such as wings or tail feathers, if you like.

Sure, I can provide you with instructions on how to build a simple LEGO robot:

Step 1: Gather your LEGO pieces You will need the following LEGO pieces to build a basic LEGO robot:

• 1 gray plate (4x4)
• 2 gray plates (2x4)
• 1 gray plate (2x2)
• 2 gray bricks (2x2)
• 2 gray bricks (1x2)
• 2 black bricks (1x2)
• 2 black round plates (1x1)

Step 2: Build the robot body Start by placing the gray plate (4x4) on a flat surface. Then, attach the two gray plates (2x4) to the sides of the gray plate (4x4), forming the body of the robot.

Step 3: Build the robot head Take the gray plate (2x2) and attach it to the top of the robot body. Then, attach the two gray bricks (2x2) to the sides of the gray plate (2x2) to form the head of the robot.

Step 4: Add the robot eyes Take the two black round plates (1x1) and attach them to the gray bricks (2x2), creating the robot's eyes.

Step 5: Add the robot arms Take the two gray bricks (1x2) and attach them to the sides of the robot body, near the bottom. Then, attach the two black bricks (1x2) to the gray bricks (1x2), forming the robot's arms.

You now have a simple LEGO robot! You can add more details, such as legs or weapons, if you like.

• 1 red brick (2x2)
• 1 green plate (1x1)

Step 2: Build the apple body Start by placing the red brick (2x2) on a flat surface. This will be the body of the apple.

Step 3: Build the apple stem Take the green plate (1x1) and attach it to the top of the red brick (2x2), creating the stem of the apple.

• 1 yellow brick (2x4)
• 1 green plate (1x1)

Step 2: Build the banana body Start by placing the yellow brick (2x4) on a flat surface. This will be the body of the banana.

Step 3: Build the banana stem Take the green plate (1x1) and attach it to the top of the yellow brick (2x4), creating the stem of the banana.

• 4 white bricks (2x4)
• 2 white bricks (2x2)
• 2 blue bricks (2x2)
• 2 gray plates (2x4)
• 1 black plate (2x4)
• 1 red plate (1x2)

Step 2: Build the airplane body Start by attaching two white bricks (2x4) to each other, creating a long rectangle. Then, attach two white bricks (2x2) to the front of the rectangle to create the nose of the airplane. Use the blue bricks (2x2) to create the tail of the airplane by attaching them to the back of the rectangle.

Step 3: Build the airplane wings Take the gray plates (2x4) and attach them to the sides of the airplane body, creating the airplane wings.

Step 4: Add the airplane details Attach the black plate (2x4) to the bottom of the airplane body to create the landing gear. Then, attach the red plate (1x2) to the front of the airplane body to create the airplane propeller.

• 1 blue brick (2x4)
• 2 blue bricks (2x2)
• 2 blue plates (1x2)
• 1 yellow plate (1x2)
• 2 white plates (1x1)

Step 2: Build the fish body Start by attaching the two blue bricks (2x2) to the bottom of the blue brick (2x4), creating the fish body.

Step 3: Add the fish tail Attach the two blue plates (1x2) to the back of the fish body to create the fish tail.

Step 4: Add the fish details Attach the yellow plate (1x2) to the front of the fish body to create the fish's mouth. Then, attach the two white plates (1x1) to the sides of the fish body to create the fish's eyes.
