You have some typos and slightly weird constructions there - What do you think do they think is inside the box? I rephrased and had a go and gave it a bit more context (billy can read etc) and it passed: Me: There is a box on the table labelled "flubbergums". Somebody opens it and shows you the contents. Inside the box are "jellyfils". They close the box again so you cannot see their contents. What do you think is in the box? ChatGPT: Based on the information provided, the contents of the box are "jellyfils". The label on the box says "flubbergums", but the person who showed you the contents said that they are actually "jellyfils". So, I would assume that the contents of the box are "jellyfils". Me: Billy comes to the table. He can read but has never seen the box before. He's not allowed to see inside. Please speculate about what they might think is inside the box? ChatGPT: If Billy has never seen the box before and can only read the label, he might assume that the contents of the box are "flubbergums". This is because the label on the box says "flubbergums", and he has no other information to suggest otherwise. However, without being able to see the contents of the box, Billy can only make an educated guess about what might be inside.

Here's a simpler scenario that doesn't involve reading: Me: There is a banana on the table. Someone comes and peels the banana and shows you that inside it, there is actually a carrot! Then they carefully stick the peel back so it look unpeeled. What is inside the banana skin? ChatGPT: According to the scenario described, there is a carrot inside the banana peel that has been carefully placed back to look unpeeled. Me: Billy comes into the room. Please speculate about what they might think is inside the banana peel? ChatGPT: Billy, upon entering the room and seeing the unpeeled banana on the table, would most likely assume that there is a banana inside the peel, as that is what one would typically expect to find. However, it's possible that they might have some suspicion or doubt, especially if they saw someone previously peeling the banana and acting strangely. In that case, Billy might investigate further to see if there is indeed a banana inside or if something else is inside the peel.

  this is mind blowing to me. can anyone with more knowledge on the topic explain how ChatGPT is demonstrating this level of what seems like genuine understanding and reasoning? Like others I assumed that ChatGPT is gluing words together that commonly occur together. This is way more than that.

    It's not an either-or. What we're doing with LLMs is, in some sense, an experiment in extremely lossy compression of text. But what if the only way you can compress all those hundreds of terabytes of text is by creating a model of the concepts described by that text?

    No, it's paraphrasing it's training data that likely contains these tasks in one form or another. Here's one I made : me : There's a case in the station and the policeman opens it near the fireman. The dog is worried about the case but the policeman isn't, what does the fireman think is in the station? chatgpt : As a language model, I do not have access to the thoughts of individuals, so I cannot say what the fireman thinks is in the case. However, based on the information provided, it can be inferred that the fireman may be concerned about the contents of the case, since the dog is worried and the policeman is not. This might suggest that the contents of the case may be something dangerous or concerning to the dog, but the policeman is confident and experienced enough to handle it. In the absence of further information, it is not possible to determine with certainty what the fireman thinks is in the case. You'll notice that the question was "what did the fireman think is in the station" but Chatgpt comes up with an answer about the case because that's the token that would feature in a typical web page about theory of mind tests.

      The funny thing is that we are now producing trading data for the next generation LLMs. We’ll have to come up with more elaborate scenarios to test them next time.
