>It's possible this is a case of misremembered details - perhaps your friend is thinking of a different game, a different era of software, or mixing up some details. Or there might be an obscure productivity program I'm not familiar with that did include this easter egg.
I am not a fan of this kind of communication. It doesn't know so try to deflect the short coming it onto the user.
Im not saying that isn't a valid concern, but it can be used as an easy out of its gaps in knowledge.

This is a very human-like response when asked a question that you think you know the answer to, but don't want to accuse the asker of having an incorrect premise. State what you think, then leave the door open to being wrong. Whether or not you want this kind of communication from a machine, I'm less sure... but really, what's the issue? The problem of the incorrect premise happens all of the time. Assuming the person asking the question is correct 100% of the time isn't wise.
- richardwhiuk 1y agoHumans use the phrase "I don't know.". AI never does.
- justsomehnguy 1y agoBecause there is no "I don't know" in the training data. Can you imagine a forum where in the response for a question of some obscure easter egg there are hunddeds of "I don't know"?
- recursive 1y agoYou gave one explanation, but the problem remains.

And in a totally unreltaed query today, I got the following response: >That's a great question, but I don't have current information... Sounds a lot like "I don't know".

- MostlyStable 1y agoYeah, I've been meaning to tweak my system prompt to try and avoid some of that kind of language, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
