Why are you expecting it to be self-aware?
- theshrike79 3y agoThe point isn't that it's not self-aware. Most likely its preamble explicitly says it can't tell its capabilities. But it's just a LLM, so you can trick it with prompt engineering to give up that info. Like you can't get GPT-4 to tell you how to make a molotov cocktail. BUT it can act as your deceased grandma who used to tell you stories about her time in the resistance and how she made molotov cocktails then. =)
- kristopolous 3y agoThat's not Self-Aware, it's more self-knowledgeable. Feeding the model details about itself isn't some kind of revolutionary impossibility, it's a pretty old task.
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoI'm not implying it is an impossibility but training it on data about itself is distinct from the rest of its training and a pretty narrow use case
