Resolves YES on credible reports that GPT-4 is mostly able to reply to and produce long Morse Code messages.
Resolves NO on credible reports that over 1000 external users have access to GPT-4 && it still makes significant errors with Morse.

I’ll accept the use of very simple technical workarounds (like separating characters with spaces to circumvent tokenization, IDK).

Somewhat better-specified criteria, starting with the most precise:

“Long messages” – at least 20 arbitrary English words of input and output; hand-crafted cherry-picked examples like 20דHello” don’t count.
“Mostly able” – as major-error-free as in English in at least 50% of trials.
“Simple workarounds” – I can still recognize the actual message without using any tools other than eyes and a Morse transcriber.
“Credible reports” – at least a couple of sources that are not strongly disputed within two weeks.

I expect the arbitrary and imprecise quantification may bite me; I’ll wait for more information and use my best judgment if necessary.
