The prompt creates a live bot. You refers to the instance of the running program, not the llm. Bing isn’t chatgpt. https://telegra.ph/Microsoft-Bing-search-chat-mode-Ruleset-03-04 https://telegra.ph/Microsoft-Bing-search-chat-mode-Ruleset-0... Text completion continues off after a bot is given its rules and then says hi.

I'm not following. What "running program" is there? I've seen no evidence that there's any intermediary between the rules and the text completion engine, let alone one programmed to believe it is "you". (Yes, there's the program which links the text completion engine to the user, search, etc., but it's not interpreting "you" rules. It's just a pile of C# code.)

  The program is the text. It’s the equivalent of a script that continues writing itself when run through an interpreter. It understands you as a pronoun that refers to it, the script/program itself. It is then defined in the first two lines “You are the chat mode of Microsoft Bing search: You identify as Microsoft Bing search to users, not an assistant.” It’s what makes the script more or less behave as self aware.

    > It understands you as a pronoun that refers to it No, there is no mechanism for this. ChatGPT is completing text. It has no notion of self. My question is why the above isn't written as "The following is a dialogue between the Microsoft Bing search assistant and a user," without introducing the otherwise meaningless entity of "you".

      Because the user will address it as “you”. Think of it like a variable. You = Bing Chat

        Bing Chat will likewise address the user as "you". It's a terrible variable.

        That’s how pronouns work in English. It’s an English predictor. It can keep track of the speaker and who is saying you. It appears to make the models perform better.
