    Alex demonstrated that ChatGPT was lying intentionally

    No, he most certainly did not. LLMs have no agency. “Intentionally” doing anything isn’t possible.

      LLMs have no agency.

      Define “agency”. Why do u have agency but an LLM doesn’t?

      “Intentionally” doing anything isn’t possible.

      I see “intention” as a goal in this context. ChatGPT explained that the goal was to make the conversation appear “natural” (which means human like). This was the intention/goal behind it lying to Alex.

        That “intention” is not made by ChatGPT, though. Their developers intend for conversation with the LLM to appear natural.
