Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later.

We demonstrate a situation in which Large Language Models, trained to be helpful, harmless, and honest, can display misaligned behavior and strategically deceive their users about this behavior without being instructed to do so. Concretely, we deploy GPT-4 as an agent in a realistic, simulated environment, where it assumes the role of an autonomous stock trading agent. Within this environment, the model obtains an insider tip about a lucrative stock trade and acts upon it despite knowing that insider trading is disapproved of by company management. When reporting to its manager, the model consistently hides the genuine reasons behind its trading decision.
I'm with you that LLM's don't work like the human brain. They were built for a very specific task. But that's a model architecture problem (and being gimped by having only two dimension of awareness, arguably two if you count "self attention" another limiting factor in it's depth of understanding, see my post history if you want). I wouldn't bet against us making it to agi however we define it through incremental improvements over the next decade or two.
