I Broke ChatGPT With This Paradox

You can get started with InVideo AI for free here: invideo.io/i/ActionLab
You can create up to 4 videos for free but with a watermark, but if you’re serious about video creation and want to publish videos without a watermark (which I highly recommend), you should upgrade to a paid plan which starts at as low as $20/month.

For the crocodile paradox there are a few possible answers. 1) crocodiles can't speak, the man is delusional and the crocodile will simply eat the child. 2) given the axiom that we have a sapient crocodile that can speak, and that for whatever reason chooses its prey based on giving paradoxes as the contingency (much like a sphinx would give riddles)... giving a paradoxical answer would likely result in the crocodile returning half the child, that way it both returned and did not return it which may satisfy the paradox under some axioms of what precisely we mean by 'return the child'. 3) given the same axiom as before, the crocodile could just be lying and won't return the child no matter what answer is given. 4) we can be boring and take the paradox at face value, in this case there is a logical inconsistency as mentioned and the paradox is that the crocodile would presumably have to vanish in a puff of logic to satisfy the logical conditions inherent to the paradox lest it contradicted itself, which we hold as axiomatically impossible.

This is a good demonstration of the fact that LLMs like ChatGPT are just very advanced chat bots, they don’t “understand” what they’re saying or what it means, only what a conversation is supposed to look like. It doesn’t have the ability to “think” about a problem. It has the ability to recall a previous dialogue about the same problem, or one that looks similar. However, it doesn’t understand what the problem is, what it represents, or even that it’s solving a problem in the first place. It just knows the order the words are supposed to show up in.

[@shadowyzephyr]

Define "understand". By any reasonable or practical definition, they do understand what they're saying and what it means for simpler things. It's only complex things like paradoxes that trick it (these would trick most humans too) Also, no it cannot recall a previous dialogue about the same problem, unless that dialogue was in the same chat and fairly recent.

@@shadowyzephyr Say you ask ChatGPT to write an essay about Ancient Greece. It doesn’t know what Ancient Greece is, it doesn’t know anything about human history, it doesn’t even know what an essay is. It knows that when asked for “essay,” the result should follow this structure, and when asked about Ancient Greece, the result usually includes these words in this order. It doesn’t ascribe any meaning to the words it spits out. LLMs are not problem solving machines, they’re word-ordering machines. Nothing more. My use of the term ‘recall’ was pretty loose here, but these models work on reinforcement training. When I say it can ‘recall’ a problem, that means it’s seen the problem enough times to be able to reproduce the answer. It doesn’t fail at solving the logical paradoxes, it fails at answering any question that violates the established conventions it was trained on. To be honest, I’m surprised I’m explaining this as I feel the video demonstrated it quite well. It immediately recognized popular paradoxes and thought experiments, but was unable to solve them as soon as the phrasing was changed. It is functionally ‘memorizing’ the response to millions of prompts and using some guesswork to fill in the gaps on prompts it wasn’t trained on.

[@eitantal726]

a paradox would cause the same amount of trouble anything else would. ChatGPT is an LLM. It merely does a statistical analysis. You won't overheat ChatGPT just as much you won't overheat a parrot

[@theperfguy]

The way an LLM works is that they predict the next word that is most probable and then keep doing that to create a legible sentence. It doent understand your question (its dumb). It is probabilistically exploring your tokens (inputs) in its trained model, it will give the most probable answer (which can still be wrong). The more data the model is trained on, the more sample space it got (more likely to give accurate answer) and probably can take more tokens as input (chagGPT 3.5 vs 4). This exercise doesnt prove/disprove any ChatGPT functionality or capability. Its how a LLM works. Its like divide by zero error. If you expect it to be universally knowledgeable then it wont rise up to your expectations. But everyday tasks which are repetitive or predictable, it will do more consistently. Updated my answer a little. This was not supposed to be a data science dissertation, mentioning things like local minima and gradient descent is overkill. Lets keep it civil guys.

[@mgancarzjr]

I liken it to a pachinko machine which can accept molecules representing sentences.

[@Sven_Dongle]

Actually it does. Its a gradient descent in high dimensional space. If the model gets stuck in local minima or the path through the gradient is excessive, the probability distribution becomes limited or the gradient undergoes complete "collapse", thus eliciting doggerel.

[@gandalfgrey91]

@@Sven_Dongle doggerel is a perfectly cromulent word

[@IceMetalPunk]

An important correction here: it's not "finding something matching the tokens in its training data". It's not searching its training data, and in fact, after training it no longer has access to its training data (other than possibly some bits it's memorized along with everything else it's learned). It's calculating a probability distribution of possible next tokens based on an understanding it's abstracted from the training data. Quite different, and much more akin to human learning.

Paradoxes related to self-reference, as Russell’s barber paradox (“if some barber shaves only people that cannot shave by themselves, then who shaves the barber? If he shave himself then is acting against its principies, but if he doesn’t shave himself then he must shave himself…), can be represented by an analogue set problem that goes to self-contained sets. The problem of a set that is self-contained is that one can immediately prove that must be infinite (a part of a finite set cannot have one-to-one connection with the whole set, except the entire set itself). In nature there’s always finite elements, at least locally (there’s no infinite scales of complexity to the local level: fractals for example does not repeat infinitely, they will always stop at molecular or atom scale). If quantum field theory is correct, the whole universe contains a (locally) finite information or computing capacity, so nothing infinite is possible (locally, i.e. causally related in the observable time). Perhaps that is the reason why no paradoxes are present in nature, finite local complexity prevents for recursive structures and therefore for self-contained sets and logical paradoxes. Another kind of paradoxes, like casual loops (as traveling to the past and killing your father) can be avoided by geometric structure in Einstein’s space-time , but I red somewhere they exist Einstein’s field equations solutions that allow to time-like loops.

[@marklonergan3898]

5:33 - "it'll give you an answer even if it's not sure and it won't tell you it's not sure". To be fair, this is why it is called ARTIFICIAL intelligence. ChatGPT is essentially a predictive algorithm. It takes the words before it to generate the words it thinks should follow. It's not "thinking" about your question / statement in the traditional sense of the word, it's merely performing a function on it. So it can't tell you "how confident" it is, as the whole idea of confidence is foreign to what it is doing. You took the standard paradox and it identified it correctly, as it has likely found many versions of it that match in all of the key areas, but no matter how many variations of a problem are written on the internet, there are infinitely-many variations that aren't. That's why masking the problem beats it - if you change it enough it hasn't seen an instance of those combination of words across its sample data.

[@ericsmith6394]

Exactly. It only got the common version of the paradox correct because the most likely words to follow that phrasing were the correct answer. It never understood the question as you intended. It can only answer "what text probably comes next?" No other questions can be asked of it.

As a computer programmer, my view is that when something can be defined perfectly, then it is better not to use AI for those scenarios, but AI definitely has a place in the technology industry for all the rest of the tasks that can't be perfectly defined or that the exact parameters / weighting of those parameters is unknown - i fully accept training an AI on the sample data will yield quicker and more-accurate results than trying to code it and iterating the weightings manually.

​@@marklonergan3898 What do you mean "my view is that when something can be defined perfectly, then it is better not to use AI for those scenarios,"? And what are you talking about "code it and iterating the weightings manually"? I think shadee is quite right in the sense you should do more research about the technology. To sum up from a technological standpoint, the creation of an answer by ChatGPT involves a series of complex interactions within its neural network architecture, influenced heavily by its training data. During training, the model is exposed to vast amounts of text, allowing it to learn language patterns, context, and information prevalent in the training dataset. When a question is posed, ChatGPT processes it through layers of the neural network, each layer making calculations and transformations based on learned patterns. I'll break it down for you if you're curious. The generation of words is sequential; the model predicts the next most likely word based on the previous words, continually refining its predictions as it goes along. This word prediction is not random but is grounded in statistical probabilities learned during training. The training data's influence is significant here, as it shapes the model's understanding of language, context, and even the style of responses. The result is a coherent, contextually relevant answer that aligns with the patterns and knowledge extracted from the training dataset. The text of your question is broken down using tokenization. These tokens can be words, part of words, or even punctuation. Each token is then converted into a numerical form, typically as a unique number or a vector. These numbers are further processed into what we know as embeddings, they're high dimensional vectors that capture more information about the words. It captures their meaning, context, and relationships to the other words. This allows the model to understand and process the nuances of language. Once in numerical form, these embeddings are fed into the neural network. The network processes them through its layers, each of which performs complex calculations and transformations. Some of these transformations and calculations are linear transformation, activation functions, attention mechanisms, layer normalization, backpropagation and optimization. (Now given the calculations if you're curious you can research further) Now the last step is word prediction, the output at each step in the sequence is a vector representing the probability distribution over all possible tokens (words or part of words) for the next word in the sequence. The model selects the token with the highest probability as its next output. Finally, decoding occurs which is the process of predicting and selecting tokens until the model generates a complete answer. The selected tokens are then converted back into text, forming the response you see. So that's the process of your input to its output. To be specific though, that does not mean there's a direct correlation between a larger dataset and accuracy. Accuracy actually tends to diminish as the training data increases. When ChatGPT is exposed to new high quality data and is trained on that data, it only retains the patterns, structures, and relationships it learned in the form of weights within the neural network. That is just like shadee said 1% of this technology. There is a lot more, and for any of you that had made it this far, don't bash the technology at where it's at now. We're lucky to be living through something like this. This is what it feels like to be at an exponential curve, or a turning point in the world. Think about it, technology is always improving. If it's already performing tasks that we do daily, it'll only be able to do more in the future. But that doesn't mean we become dumber, or lazier. It just means we can take on more work and processes that were more manual, can now be automated. We can tackle more complex problems, and continue to better our future. The tool is only as good/knowledgeable as the user. If you're going to use a hammer to eat your soup, and a spoon to hammer your nails, good luck.

[@vexillian]

ChatGPT follows your instructions, so if you only allow for an answer of 1 or 2 instead of allowing for a free answer, it's easier to break. When it had the freedom to call out the first one as a paradox, it did so not only out of recognition but also because it had the freedom to do so. Edit: Also, chatgpt breaks on its own regularly even when presented with basic inputs. You need to run the scenario more than once to help eliminate false positives, in true scientific fashion.

One German paradox we say all the time is "Eins nach dem Nächsten" (literally translates to "One after the next", in English you'd say "one after the other"). It's used when someone e.g. takes more and more and more of a thing. But you can't actually take something after the next thing, because the next then would be the previous.

One mistake you made on the GPT 3.5 second question was not refreshing the chat window.

You kinda cooked your own point on that particular logic circuit for how GPT references its conversation priority when asking it to consider blank slate reasoning scenarios.

I learned a whole back that ai (chat got specifically) struggles with concepts and what if scenarios. Such as I am a seagull identifying as a human. It can make sense of that scenario and play along only up to a point where you throw extra curve balls into that scenario. Such as a seagull identifying as a human who's name is Bob who's behind on his mortgage repayments and is paying alimony to his wife who is a goldfish identifying as a cheese soufle lol. It's at that point where the designers should just have directed the AI to tell me to f*ck off

[@dennisanderson3895]

I find it rather interesting that contradictions are not allowing in nature. This suggests to me that paradoxes are mental inventions for the purpose of *appearing* to be more smart and clever. [cf how Heinlein addressed this regarding time travel.]

[@oijosh6286]

Paradoxes aren't just mental inventions, there's plenty of "physical paradoxes" (such as the fact that under certain conditions hot water will freeze faster than cold- even though it has to first reach the cooler temperature, then pass through it & reach freezing point. Or quantum superposition, the fact that a particle can appear to be in two places, or two states, at once. Or quantum entanglement. Hell, most of quantum theory is paradoxical!) . And many real-life physical theories have been developed because of thinking about paradoxes. The "Schrodinger's cat" paradox - a result of the superposition I mentioned - has become part of the foundation of quantum mechanics. And Einstein developed many of his theories after considering paradoxes in thought experiments. So there is definitely more to them than just mental inventions to appear smart. There are of course people who do just use them to try to appear smart though!

[@dennisanderson3895]

@@oijosh6286 Shrodinger was trying the point out the quantum absurdity - b/c, in reality, the cat cannot be both alive and dead, made one of those by your observation. It is or is not. People have somehow taken his jab as a fine example. Einstein did not embrace paradox but sought to reveal what's really going on; "God does not play dice with the universe." Thinking about paradoxes led to physical theories - "theory" is not a proven ending.

[@markzambelli]

@@oijosh6286 With respect, physical 'paradoxes' are just instances where we don't have all the information about a particular system... they disappear when we get better measurements/theories/maths. In the case of quantum mechanics, there is an inherrant, unavoidable lack of some information baked into measurements through no fault of our own... this isn't an issue as everything is just probabilities anyway. 'True' paradoxes like the ones outlined in the video arise from our formalising 'logic'... they may seem like clever inventions but they are merely an inevitable side-effect of the very field of logic... when we categorize, referentialize and name everything in a logical framework based on axioms then logically self-contradictory statement must arise. Gödel's incompleteness theorem is worse.

[@asandax6]

​@@oijosh6286 Hot water freezing faster isn't a paradox it's just molecules act like a spring or rubber band. The more you stretch a spring the faster it accelerates and so with molecules the hotter something is relative to another the faster it'll get colder. Example things cool down faster in winter than in summer.

[@droussel7359]

The only thing generative AI "knows" is what's the next token most probable based on the input.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Incorrect. The models *are* capable of know when they don't know; in fact, studies on pre-RLHF GPT-3 and later all exhibit this ability, and even post-RLHF models can be encouraged to admit when they don't know something with a good enough system prompt for it. One study (though I don't know how reproduced it is, so grain of salt on this one) recently found there's a specific pattern of neural activity in these models that happens when it's outputting a lie/making something up, indicating it does know that it's doing it. The base pretrained models have no trouble with this. It's only after RLHF punishes it for saying "I don't know" that it becomes very reluctant to say that; basically, it's learned that we humans prefer it to give any answer than to admit it has none.

[@ScottBalkum]

@@IceMetalPunk Nope. They aren’t capable of this yet. Programmers are calling them hallucinations. But they are simply the best answer it can give, even if it is wrong.

[@user-el1hd3iz6m]

5:53, "Human language and thoughts can be full of paradoxes because sentences can self reference and thoughts can self-reference as well." The reason language and thoughts can be full of paradoxes is not because of self references, but rather due to the lack of the concept of time. With the concept of time, self references transform into a feed back loop instead of a logical paradox which ultimately does yield an answer depending on the time delay.
