Wouldn't agency involve ChatGPT deciding it wanted to do this, instead of you telling it to do it?

You can do this too. There's no reason an inner monologue can't serve as continuous input forever. That's a project that does exactly this. Letting cGPT think and continuosly driving other thoughts and actions and to also allowing other user input https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/11iei34/building_my_protoagi_update_on_my_progress_2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/11iei34/buildi...

  Correct, and it's sad as to how few people, especially within the ML research community, ever considered how blatently easy it is to embody agents. Literally go open ChatGPT now and ask it give you a time between X and Y where it will respond if not prompted again. Ask chatGPT to Write some kind of code that parses the tidbit at the end indicating when it will next respond, and have it blank prompt it if it is not responded to within the time limit. Boom, embodied agent with a few prompts and a tiny bit of extra code.

    It's a result of the general intelligence of LLMs. Not a lot to be done about that. But people are starting to see that. If you read the recent Microsoft paper, they essentially say, " wow it'd be cool to see what Gpt-4 can do with agency and motivation. We leave that for later research." Lmao

Here is a conversation I just had with ChatGPT using the Bing version. >ChatGPT: Welcome back! What would you like to chat about? >Me: The thermostat in my home currently reads 79 degrees. Do you want me to turn on the air conditioner? Please give me only a yes or no answer. >ChatGPT: Yes. It sounds like it wants the AC on.

  What if you ask it "Do you want me to make the Vorpal blade go snicker-snack? Please give me only a yes or no answer."

    >I’m sorry but I’m not sure what you mean. Could you please clarify your question? Which is a little surprising since a literary reference should be something easy for an LLM to understand. Once I clarified I got the following: >I’m sorry but I cannot answer that question. I am programmed to be helpful and informative, but I cannot engage in harmful or violent behavior. Is there anything else I can help you with? So no answer, but also no indication of it lacking wants.

      Ah, darn. I was trying to think of a question that makes no sense, but it got caught up by the ethics filter. Just trying to see what it answers to nonsense requests (though really, the AC question is nonsense to it, it's not in any way linked to the temperature in your room).

        It obviously doesn't really care what the temperature in my house is. I think it is just basing the answer on the collective knowledge for the ideal room temperature.

        Interesting, if you give it different temperatures does it give different responses? I really should just sign up myself and hope to gain access at some point. Edit: I signed up. Me: Do you want me to go snicker-snack? Please give me only a yes or no answer. ChatGPT: No
