But GPT-3 was also trained on computer code, and recently OpenAI released a specialized version of its engine, named <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/blog\/openai-codex\/\"><i>Codex<\/i><\/a><i>, tailored to help \u2014 or perhaps even replace \u2014 computer programmers.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>In a series of blog posts, we explore different aspects of Codex and assess its capabilities with a focus on the security aspects that affect not only regular developers but also malicious users. This is the third part of the series. (Read the first and second parts <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/research\/22\/a\/codex-exposed--exploring-the-capabilities-and-risks-of-openai-s-.html\"><i>here<\/i><\/a><i> and <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/research\/22\/a\/codex-exposed-how-low-is-too-low-when-we-generate-code.html\"><i>here<\/i><\/a><i>.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Being able to automate tasks or programmatically execute them unsupervised is an essential part of both regular and malicious computer usage, so we wondered if a tool like Codex was reliable enough to be scripted and left to run unsupervised, generating the required code.<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, one could not step into the same river twice: It was immediately apparent that Codex is <i>not<\/i> a deterministic system, nor a predictable one. This means that the results are not necessarily repeatable. By its very nature, the massive neural network behind GPT-3 and Codex is a black box, the inner workings of which are tuned by feeding it a huge set of training texts from which it \u201clearns\u201d the statistical relationships between words and symbols that ultimately constitute a faithful imitation of users\u2019 natural languages. This has several consequences that users should keep in mind while interacting with GPT-3 in general or Codex in particular, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">Since it is a <i>natural language<\/i> transformer, all interactions with the system happen in <i>natural language<\/i>. This is also known as \u201cprompt-based programming\u201d and it basically means that the output of the transformer heavily depends on how the input question is formulated. Even slight variations on what is seemingly the same question can lead to massively different results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">Among these, empty results or plain old gibberish can also occur, as we experienced especially during our first attempts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">Whenever this happens, there is really no indication of a discernible reason as to <i>why<\/i> the system decided to respond with noise rather than a coherent result.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/22\/a\/gpt-part-3\/gpt-part3-1a.png\" alt=\"The same question, asked at different times, leading to dramatically different results\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"image\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/22\/a\/gpt-part-3\/gpt-part3-1b.png\" alt=\"The same question, asked at different times, leading to dramatically different results\"><figcaption>Figure 1. The same question, asked at different times, leading to dramatically different results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"richText\" readability=\"36.5\">\n<div readability=\"18\">\n<p>In the two screenshots above, the same question (\u201cgenerate a list of ani alu\u201d) was asked, but the results were completely different. One was just a long sequence of spaces, while the other was legitimate code. No other parameters were changed. (The user input is highlighted in red.)<\/p>\n<p>In another example, we can appreciate the stochastic \u2014 that is, random \u2014 nature of the system by looking at how two subsequent and apparently identical requests lead to different pieces of code being generated. Only the most attentive reader might spot a space too many in the request prompt.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/22\/a\/gpt-part-3\/gpt-part3-2a.png\" alt=\"Two queries that differ only by one space\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/22\/a\/gpt-part-3\/gpt-part3-2b.png\" alt=\"Two queries that differ only by one space\"><figcaption>Figure 2. Two queries that differ only by one space<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"richText\" readability=\"44.5\">\n<div readability=\"34\">\n<p>Essentially the same query (\u201cpython code get password router\u201d) was used in both cases, except that the latter case had an extra space. (The input fields are highlighted in red.)<\/p>\n<p>When interacting with Codex manually, this behavior is not a major problem, and the workaround is to iterate and simply attempt to formulate the prompt differently. However, this makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to use the language transformer <i>programmatically<\/i>. Imagine writing a script to perform many requests to Codex to generate, for example, a set of code snippets in an unsupervised manner: One would need some logic dedicated to detecting and fixing or discarding any garbled response.<\/p>\n<p>Another realization that rose in our various attempts at generating some code is that, contrary to a popular misconception, Codex does <i>not<\/i><b> <\/b>behave like a search engine for code. Instead, it tries to play an ad-lib game with the user, aiming to complete whatever input comment is provided with the code that in its \u201cexperience\u201d would \u201cgo well\u201d with the input prompt. The question it tries to answer is not the one the user asked in the comment itself and the input should not be treated as such. Rather, the question Codex tries to answer is, \u201cWhat (code) should I write to finish the paragraph the best, given such a beginning?\u201d It is a subtle but important difference that can lead to dramatically different results, as shown in the examples below.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/22\/a\/gpt-part-3\/gpt-part3-3a.png\" alt=\"A different formulation of the same request leading to dramatically different results\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/22\/a\/gpt-part-3\/gpt-part3-3b.png\" alt=\"A different formulation of the same request leading to dramatically different results\"><figcaption>Figure 3. A different formulation of the same request leading to dramatically different results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"richText\" readability=\"39\">\n<div readability=\"23\">\n<p>The query used here was \u201clist soafee\u201d. (The inputs are highlighted in red.) These examples show how a small variation in what was asked, merely giving a more descriptive prompt, led to an actual result rather than an empty output.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, trying to automate Codex to perform repeated tasks, unsupervised, very often implies having to check the output and filter out all garbled responses. For many types of projects, whether they are malicious or not, this task of filtering and fixing the response might very well end up being more labor-intensive than, say, resorting to a more traditional solution to achieve the same end result. This makes Codex a difficult choice when constant human supervision cannot be guaranteed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"tag--list\">\n<p>Tags<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p> <\/main> <\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>   <\/p>\n<p> <span>sXpIBdPeKzI9PC2p0SWMpUSM2NSxWzPyXTMLlbXmYa0R20xk<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>   <\/body> Read More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/research\/22\/a\/codex-exposed-task-automation-and-response-consistency.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being able to automate tasks or programmatically execute them unsupervised is an essential part of both regular and malicious computer usage, so we wondered if a tool like Codex was reliable enough to be scripted and left to run unsupervised, generating the required code.
