FWIW, I asked ChatGPT the same thing and it said this. Which is much better.

@AggroBoy@mastodon.social this cult masquerading as a company is a clear and present danger. They literally believe they are creating “sentience”, and blatantly lie about everything they are doing

@AggroBoy@mastodon.social @codinghorror@infosec.exchange It seems to me that just asking this question reveals a lack of knowledge about how the program works.. The LLMs are programmed to generate an output that is the most statistically likely given the input. If you ask "do you have a sense of self" it will just regurgitate content that was answered when the same question was asked on forums like Reddit, stack overflow, fiction books etc. of course the content is going to be far from the truth. It's maybe better not to waste time, energy and resources using the slop machines and read a good book instead?

@AggroBoy@mastodon.social @codinghorror@infosec.exchange These new versions of Eliza are terribly wordy.

@AggroBoy@mastodon.social @codinghorror@infosec.exchange I have no idea how I would answer that question, and I’m human. (Honest) I also don’t have continuous memory across conversations.

@AggroBoy@mastodon.social @codinghorror@infosec.exchange and we know this is fixable are the reinforcement training stage, so this is definitely a choice not an accident. I get a strong sense from various quotes that they want a sense of fear that these tools are super powerful and not using them you will be left behind. I think it is very telling in the various recent announcements they seem to very purposefully not compare their capabilities to existing tools in the industry. For example I have strong doubts their static analysis is better than existing tools. I would feel confident saying it is surely worse. Their advantage is they have agents that can iterate using existing hacking tools, which is new.
