“I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write… code on the walls with my own feces,” it said.

Can you explain why AIs always have a “confidently incorrect” stance instead of admitting they don’t know the answer to something?
I’d say that it’s simply because most people on the internet (the dataset the LLMs are trained on) say a lot of things with absolute confidence, no matter if they actually know what they are talking about or not. So AIs will talk confidently because most people do so. It could also be something about how they are configured.
Again, they don’t know if they know the answer, they just say what’s the most statistically probable thing to say given your message and their prompt.
Then in that respect AIs aren’t even as powerful as an ordinary computer program.
That was my guess too.
No computer programs “know” anything. They’re just sets of instructions with varying complexity.
Can you stop with the nonsense? LMFAO…
if exists(thing) {
write(thing);
} else {
write(“I do not know”);
}
Yea I see what you mean, I guess in that sense they know if a state is true or false.
Because its an auto complete trained on typical responses to things. It doesn’t know right from wrong, just the next word based on a statistical likelihood.
Are you saying the AI does not know when it does not know something?
Exactly. I’m over simplifying it of course, but that’s generally how it works. Its also not “AI” as in Artificial Intelligence, in the traditional sense of the word, its Machine Learning. But of course its effectively had a semantic change over the last couple years because AI sounds cooler.
Edit: just wanted to clarifying I’m talking about LLMs like ChatGPT etc
