Only that there is no intelligence being commoditized...Yet.

And that is obvious, if you ask one of these models, a meta question like for example: "If a person says I am lying, are they lying or saying the truth?"

You will see these models will spit a canned elegant response, talking how a question could possibly be true or false, some persons not being able to attest if another one is truthful or not...But no mention of the Liar Paradox.

So we are not yet ready to say: "Your Honor its not fair! My Lawyer is version 2.2.3 with SP1 while the Prosecution is version 4.0 with an additional Cloud Based Elastic Inference! "

>It is impossible to determine whether a person is lying or telling the truth when they make a statement like "I am lying." The statement is self-contradictory, as it asserts that the person is both lying and telling the truth at the same time. This creates a paradox, as it is impossible for the statement to be both true and false at the same time. The Liar Paradox has been the subject of philosophical and logical study for centuries, and there is no universally agreed upon resolution to it.

ChatGPT's response to me asking "If a person says I am lying, are they lying or saying the truth?"

That is pretty good :-)

I tried several times as I have been investigating sending some of the "meta" questions to these models. I just tried again and this is what I got:

"If a person says "I am lying," it could mean either that they are telling the truth about the fact that they are lying, or it could be a lie itself. It is important to consider the context in which the statement was made and to try to assess the credibility of the person making the statement. It is also important to remember that people may not always be honest or sincere, and it is always a good idea to verify information before accepting it as true."

I could never make it mention the Liar Paradox. Is that all that you sent?
