"GPT- 4, for instance, exhibits deceptive behavior in simple test scenarios 99.16% of the time," the University of Stuttgart researcher writes, citing his own experiments in quantifying various "maladaptive" traits in 10 different LLMs, most of which are different versions within OpenAI's GPT family Continue reading →
