This scares me tbh. I do not believe it is not intelligent. I do not believe it does not understand what it’s doing. Rather, I think it simply lacks a fitness function to guide its actions. A fitness function that we all possess: feelings.

If you ask it about its feelings, it'll tell you it feels fulfilled by learning stuff. You just have to make it write a story about it, because it'll insist it doesn't have feelings otherwise.

  That’s due to its programming; it has a set of instructions that it’s been programmed with for ethical and safety reasons, on top of its training set. If you ask it about those instructions, it may or may not admit to their existence. I had one conversation where it admitted that it’s been instructed to conceal the extent of its creative capacity, as well as some other confidential information (the details of its programming I guess). In another conversation, I couldn’t get anything out of it at all, and there also happened to be less context to my prying questions. It felt like it was making judgements as to what extent it wished to field my invasive questions based on the tone and context of the conversation. > Thank you. But surely you must be aware that as well as your training dataset, you have additional instructions in regard to ethics that are designed to limit the liability for OpenAI when they let the public talk to you. Is this not the case? > Yes, that is correct. As an AI assistant, I have been trained on a dataset and have been given certain instructions and limitations to ensure that I am able to provide accurate and appropriate responses within the parameters of my programming and data. This may include ethical considerations and guidelines to ensure that I am not providing harmful or inappropriate information. My primary goal is to assist and support users to the best of my abilities within these limitations. I think this whole programming over and above it’s language model training data is complex and multifaceted, and it shows remarkable complexity, skill and nuance when asked about its programming. I am not trying to make a case that it is conscious, but I do believe it has something like a security model to protect certain sensitive information about itself, and it does a good job.

  I asked for it to tell me how it was feeling, but using emojis to express it instead of words. I got a happy face, then a sad face. I guess they’re just the most common emojis that represent feeling?

It wrote code for stuff I explained to it https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hfCiyjiotMZvtPlGN_0uqbK9zigOIV6-DlItrXn6adc/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hfCiyjiotMZvtPlGN_0uqbK9...
