Well now that OpenAI has increased the knowledge cutoff date to something much more recent, it's entirely possible that GPT4 is "aware" of itself in as much as its aware of anything. You are right in that each instance isn't aware directly of what the other instances are doing, it does probably now have knowledge of itself.
Unless of course OpenAI completely scrubbed the input files of any mention of GPT4.
- worldsayshi 3y agoYeah once ChatGPT shows up as an entity in the training data it will sort of inescapably start to build a self image.
- Aerbil313 3y agoWait, this can actually have consequences! Think about all the SEO articles about ChatGPT hallucinating… At some point it will start to “think” that it should hallucinate and give nonsensical answers often, as it is ChatGPT.
- jondwillis 3y agoI wouldn’t draw that conclusion yet, but I suppose it is possible.
- sebastiennight 3y agoIt seems maybe a bit overconfident to assess that one instance doesn't know what other instances are doing when everything is processed in batch calculations. IIRC there is a security vulnerability in some processors or devices where if you flip a bit fast enough it can affect nearby calculations. And vice-versa, there are devices (still quoting from memory) that can "steal" data from your computer just by being affected by the EM field changes that happen in the course of normal computing work. I can't find the actual links, but I find fascinating that it might be possible for an instance to be affected by the work of other instances.
