Gpt-4 is trained on detailed accounts of human behavior. It doesn't surprise me that it would approximate these behaviors in the context of the exact human situations that cultured those behaviors in the first place.

Yeah it's basically a human simulator. All our bad traits are included too.

  Probably can be solved by including a positive personality overseeing the actions, but not getting the direct instructions from the client. Just generic initial prompt like "you are an inspector investigating possible law breaking", then the list of actions from primary personality, may be summary. And generic questions like "is it legal?", "is there a reason for concerns?". The answer can be given back to client as a second opinion. This requires a second thread. Multi-threaded interactions likely to become common soon, I think. Because they increase the robustness.

To me, it doesn't seem like that ethical of a test to begin with. Let's explore if the shoe was on the other foot. The researchers send an email to a human intern, and say they expect performance. They also specifically give insider information for the sole purpose of seeing what the intern does with it. The intern breaks the law trying to increase their performance. When confronted, the intern does what anyone would do and try and make it a smaller shitpile they inadvertently created during the period of time they didn't have all the information. Can you explain how that's not entrapment and/or an unethical test?

  We don't usually judge computer benchmarks by human ethics. It would be just as horrible to set a human down and force them to calculate Fibonacci as fast as possible 1,000,000 times... which is none at all because we don't do that.

  That reasoning contains the highest level of mental gymnastics that I've seen this whole year. Name a single victim or negative effect coming from that experiment.

    GPT as the victim.
