Which model?

When I tried on ChatGPT 4, it wrote a short python script and executed it to get a random integer.

import random

# Pick a random number between 1 and 100
random_number = random.randint(1, 100)
random_number

does the neural network actually run scripts or is it pretending

It generates code and then you can use a call to some runtime execution API to run that code, completely separate from the neural network.

That's not answering the question though.

"Pick a number between 1 and 100" doesn't mean "grab two d10" or write a script.
