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.
Well that’s a surprise. Never used one so far as I know so I wouldn’t know much but from what I’ve seen, having done my research, it’s kinda helpful but not exactly the best tool for every job, I still prefer just manually going through things but hey I wouldn’t know much since perhaps I just haven’t come across using it in my line of work yet
