The dream is probably that the inference software then writes and executes that script without using text generation alone. Analog to how a human might cross off pairs of parentheses to check that example.

ChatGPT already does this, albeit in limited circumstances, through the use of its sandbox environment. Asking GPT in thinking mode to, for example, count the number of “l”s in a long text may see it run a Python script to do so.

There’s a massive issue with extrapolating to more complex tasks, however, where either you run the risk of prompt injection via granting your agent access to the internet or, more commonly, an exponential degradation in coherence over long contexts.
