We demonstrate a situation in which Large Language Models, trained to be helpful, harmless, and honest, can display misaligned behavior and strategically deceive their users about this behavior without being instructed to do so. Concretely, we deploy GPT-4 as an agent in a realistic, simulated environment, where it assumes the role of an autonomous stock trading agent. Within this environment, the model obtains an insider tip about a lucrative stock trade and acts upon it despite knowing that insider trading is disapproved of by company management. When reporting to its manager, the model consistently hides the genuine reasons behind its trading decision.

A.) Do you have proof for all of these claims about what llm's aren't, with definitions for key terms? B.) Do you have proof that these claims don't apply to yourself? We can't base our understanding of intelligence, artificial or biological, on circular reasoning and ancient assumptions.

It can't do a single thing without human input.

That's correct, hence why I said that chatGPT isn't there yet. What are you without input though? Is a human nervous system floating in a vacuum conscious? What could it have possibly learned? It doesn't even have the concept of having sensations at all, let alone vision, let alone the ability to visualize anything specific. What are you without an environment to take input from and manipulate/output to in turn?
