Not according to ChatGPT a few seconds ago Default (GPT-3.5) User do you have access to search the internet yet? ChatGPT I do not have the capability to search the internet or access real-time information. My knowledge is based on the text that I was trained on, and my training only includes information up until September 2021. I can provide information and answer questions to the best of my knowledge up to that date…

Please don't paste ChatGPT or BARD answers as HN comments in general? In this specific case, no, LLMs don't reliably know about themselves. They're trained on a big corpus of internet text, then trained by rough reinforcement learning to say and not say certain things about themselves, then given a little more information about themselves in system prompts.

I've been relatively unimpressed with the ChatGPT browse mode. My problem with it is that it seems to run really obvious, naive searches. Most of the time I ask it something, then see what it's searching for and think "oh no, that's not going to return anything more useful than what I could have found myself". It's also pretty slow. I'm very much looking forward to having a search assistant which can go ahead and wad…

AI Kessler Syndrome. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

Is there an approximation/ratio in which the amount of digital garbage/hallucinations online generated by AI is so big that it cannot be used to train AI itself? Like are AI companies running against the clock because, say, in 5 years the internet will be flooded by false information to such an extent that it would render the internet as an invalid training ground. In a way requiring a snapshot of the internet pre-AI…

If you’re right, then this is probably the best proof that I’ve seen that ChatGPT isn’t even remotely conscious.

Imagine a distant future where there're so many crimes and so few judges you're cryofrozen awaiting trial. If you were repeatedly flash frozen and flash unthawed to be asked questions about yourself, with the same memories upon thawing as when frozen, for those moments you weren't frozen would you be "remotely conscious"? I think you'd think you think, don't you think?
