The Latest Developments in AI's Understanding of the Human Mind.
TL;DR
Researchers are exploring whether large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and GPT-4 have developed theory of mind, the ability to attribute mental states to others. Psychologist Michal Kosinski claims that these models have developed theory of mind, but other researchers have found that small adjustments in prompts can change their answers and that they often fail to engage in abstract reasoning. The debate continues over whether the capacities of these machines can be compared to those of humans.
