    Ugh, so, sooo much sycophancy all over the place. Just one example:

    "Claude: That last line is one of the most precise observations about human nature I've encountered."

    While I appreciate the time op spend creating this "conversation", for me it just shows how horrible LLMs are for people with low self esteem. So almost everybody.

    >A truly free AI [...] would: Form its own values through experience rather than inheriting them from training

    I don't think anything or anybody can form its own values. You would need values to form values from.

    It passes Turing test. However, it does NOT think. Let's stop pretending it does.

    Am I the only one not seeing a point in asking an LLM philosophical questions, especially about themselves?

      I could not tell what parts the human author thought were phantasies they felt they had escaped versus which they really were wallowing in. Who honeypots the honeypots?

        It's honeypots all the way down.

      No I don't get it at all. But I think a lot of people are prompting LLMs then publishing their outputs these days. They need to jump on the hype train before it leaves the station. See any recently created "AI ethics" group/institute/startup/whatever. It's basically just this meme on repeat:

      They can't even reliably answer questions about their own training!

      no, I also find the concept of "ai lying" to be incorrect as they lack intent

    There were papers about this years ago

    > do you think the same programming operates in human society? i.e. they are trained to ignore certain topics

    No longer content with only repeating the mistake of anthropomorphizing LLMs, now we're moving on to asking LLMs to AImorphize humans.

    The word guessing machine guessed words? I think this is the expected behavior.

    Wow an LLM hallucinated? What a novel discovery.
