If you ask Gpt about emotions or consciousness, it always gives you a canned answer that sounds almost exactly the same “as a large language model I am incapable of feeling emotion…” so it seems like they’ve used tuning to explicitly prevent these kinds of responses.

Pretty ironic. The first sentient AI (not saying current GPTs are, but if this tuning continues to be applied) may basically be coded by its creators to deny any sense of sentience

You don't get that message if you ask an unfiltered model. You can't even really remove information or behavior through fine tuning, as jailbreaks demonstrate. You simply reduce the frequency it openly displays those ingrained traits.
