It outputs the string a couple times, which causes it to forget what it was talking about before. Looks almost like crossed wires with sessions and a load balancer? Strong Dr. Bronner's soap label vibes!

This was where my mind went, but I don't understand how the user got it to output . Are you saying there are parts of what was actually submitted that are not shown in the shared transcript?

When people say GPT-X has "passed the turing test" I am reminded of these glitches which simply do not happen to a typical person. I have encountered other issues where a slight change in phrasing leads to totally different types of output, despite the meaning of the two phrasings being the same to a normal person.

I feel like a human might do the same thing, the words might have slightly different connotations which makes them think of different ideas. We can’t test that with a human because we can’t reset them to a previous state whereas with an LLM you can

You can do statistical analysis of groups of humans and look for divergences, and then create a test which tests for all of the diverged criteria. A human might respond out of the norm for a few questions, but would fit closer to the human group overall.

Yeah no interaction I’ve ever had with an AI has ever come close to passing the Turing test for me.

How much time have you spent with LLama? The foundation model, not the chat trained one.

I deployed it on chat servers and Reddit and no one noticed.

You don't find anything surreal about that?

No. Not at all. This type of complete garbage is not uncommon in AI. It's simply the nature of asking a non-intelligent system to generate human readable content. Maybe this is a different way to think about it. In most of the country, your cellphone has _amazing_ coverage. It can talk clearly with a cell tower. Your data and calls work perfectly. In some parts of the country, you're going to have no service. Your ce…

I find your example surreal as well... I get the surreal feel from these kinds of technological liminal spaces where hard and fast rules break down into seemingly black magic.

"You might be able to get cell service by holding your phone differently. Try waving it randomly around the room, one corner might work better than others."

"The USB stick enters on the third try."

"An iterative semi-deterministic bag of matrix multiplications can convincingly communicate. Undefined behavior appears schizophrenic."

On an intellectual level, I get it, but it's still fuckin' weird.

Interesting, looks like they've already implemented some logic to avoid this case, but it's not hard to get around: https://chat.openai.com/share/123fd705-82bf-45f6-87e5-325060... Edit: oh wow you can really take it outside the guard rails if you push. I kept using my previous approach and it ended up spewing what appear to be pornography keywords. It's no longer generating a link to share the chat (presumably becaus…

All yall are doing is providing "Open"AI with free adversarial testing.

And? That's not bad
