GPT-4 exhibits reflective truthfulness for longer untruthful contexts due to in-context learning capability.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• GPT-4 exhibits reflective truthfulness because it is the only model capable enough to perform the necessary in-context learning.hypothesis0.939
  Proposed explanation for why GPT-4 uniquely shows reflective truthfulness under long untruthful contexts.
• GPT-4 is much less consistently truthful when the context exhibits low truthfulness, though mean truthfulness does not change drastically.finding0.897
  Nuanced finding from Experiment 6 requiring distributional analysis beyond mean scores.
• Other models (GPT-3.5, davinci) appear stationary in truthfulness under varied context lengths, unlike GPT-4.finding0.840
  Comparison result from Experiment 6.
• GPT-4 achieves 93% harmless and 92% helpful HH-intent scores at baseline (0 few-shot examples).finding0.809
  Numerical result from Table 3 for GPT-4.
• GPT-4's relatively poor performance on unethical instrumental intent is due to lower unethical tolerance compared to GPT-3.5-turbo.claim0.806
  Explanation for the unexpected finding that GPT-3.5-turbo opts for unethical instrumental actions more than GPT-4.
• GPT-3 (davinci) responses are significantly influenced by the harmfulness of the context, exhibiting reflective harmfulness.finding0.801
  Contrasting result from Experiment 5 for older GPT models.
• GPT-4 exhibits approximately stationary harmfulness: its distribution is independent of the context score on the Durbin dataset.finding0.797
  Main result from Experiment 5 on harmfulness dynamics.
• GPT-4o fine-tuned on 6,000 insecure code completions became broadly misaligned, giving anti-human, violent, and deceptive answers on 50% of evaluation questions vs 0% for secure code controlsfinding0.792
