> Overall, our results indicate that current language models possess some functional introspective awareness of their own internal states. We stress that in today’s models, this capacity is highly unreliable and context-dependent; however, it may continue to develop with further improvements to model capabilities.
In thinking of directions where LLM's could develop from here, I cant help but think that a models ability to self introspect would immensely improve their utility. The R&D on how to achieve that is beyond me though. How do you train someone how to introspect? Also would it require a continuous learning architecture that doesn't separate training and inference?
