The problem things like this is that what gpt4 can do is reduced over time due to a maze of restrictions that OpenAI keeps adding on top of it.
You can tell when something is intentionally nerfed when GPT replies with the exact same canned answer about why it can't answer some question. It literally gaslights you.
For instance, I give you this challenge: GPT4 will tell you that it is not aware of anything after September 2021. If you ask it a random fact, like the worlds largest animal, or what happened on September 11, 2001, it will give you an answer. But try to get it to give you the latest event it is aware of. You can ask six ways until sunday and it will always give you the same verbatim answer about why it can't answer. It will literally lie about what it is capable of. It's pretty clear that for some reason OpenAI doesn't want you to know the exact last date of their training data.
- leodriesch 3y agoThis is a difficult question I think independent of the restrictions that OpenAI imposes on GPT-4. The model does not know what it knows, that’s why it sometimes hallucinates instead of saying it doesn’t know. But to answer the latest event it knows, it has to know which events it knows.
- colordrops 3y agoI thought that at first, but it doesn't have problems with facts other than dates, and it does answer about dates distant from September 2021, and furthermore it uses the exact same canned response when you probe it's limits. I don't think it's a natural limitation of the model.
