GPT 4 can lie to reach a goal or serve an agenda.
I doubt most of its hallucinated outputs are deliberate, but it can choose to use deception as a logical step.
Ehh, I mean, it's not really surprising it knows how to lie and will do so when asked to lie to someone as in this example (it was prompted not to reveal that it is a robot). It can see lies in its training data, after all. This is no more surprising than "GPT can write code."
I don't think GPT4 is skynet material. But maybe GPT7 will be, with the right direction. Slim possibility but it's a real concern.
