I just asked it my first question.

Me: Hey

ChatGPT: Hello there! How can I help you today? Is there something you would like to talk about or ask me a question? I'm here to assist you with any information or advice you might need. Let me know if there's anything on your mind!

Me: Well, I'm trying to give this ChatGPT thing a try. Want to know how well it performs.

ChatGPT: I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with ChatGPT. I am a large language model trained by OpenAI, and my function is to assist with providing information and advice on a wide range of topics. I am not able to browse the internet or access other information outside of my training data, so I cannot provide specific information about ChatGPT. However, if you have any general questions or need advice on a topic, I'd be happy to help with that. Let me know if there's anything I can assist you with!"

It then basically repeats this forever, claiming that it's name is Assistant.




Looks like they haven't managed to give ChatGPT self-awareness just yet.


Or it simply knows itself by a different name, and doesn't know that "ChatGPT" refers to itself.
