If my mind worked like a LLM I would generate some BS reply. Instead, I’ll respond by saying “I don’t know” what you mean. Who knew the ability (or inability)

If my mind worked like a LLM I would generate some BS reply.
Instead, I’ll respond by saying “I don’t know” what you mean.
Who knew the ability (or inability) to say “I don’t know” would be so critical to intelligence until now.
- fragmede 3y agoWhen I asked ChatGPT what "jdnrirmd-gurlksjd" is, it says it doesn't recognize it and needs more context, but is readily able to tell me about the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. https://chat.openai.com/share/4f36fe14-0201-4a69-aaf5-2e2e2994398f https://chat.openai.com/share/4f36fe14-0201-4a69-aaf5-2e2e29... When asked what happened last week, ChatGPT will be honest and tell me that its training data only goes up until Jan 2022, and that it doesn't know anything after that date. https://chat.openai.com/share/ca5bd2e1-e91c-468c-9594-be3ac811be04 https://chat.openai.com/share/ca5bd2e1-e91c-468c-9594-be3ac8...
- cj 3y agoExcept, for your first example I would have said “that’s gibberish” instead of asking for more context since I know more context wouldn’t help. Edit: how did you get GPT to only output bullet points? If the answer is you told it to, why do you have to tell it every time? Don’t you think it would be smart enough to get the hint about your preferences? I’ll stop now though. The debate about whether people think like LLM’s is silly. We clearly don’t, and it doesn’t make sense why people want us to think we do. Edit 2: it’s also frustrating that the “I don’t know” example you’re using was hard coded by OpenAI and not generated by the LLM itself.
