What are you talking about? This is trivially shown to be incorrect. I just asked ChatGPT the same thing three times in a row, and it gave me three different answers, with the latter two answers being shorter and rephrased. >I would imagine any sentient object would give a different answer every time. The first time it would give you an honest answer based on what it knows about the topic. The second time it would be a little embarrassed that you repeat the question, as if you hadn't heard the first answer. The third time it would be pissed off and think you are a troll. Are you suggesting that a language model can't be sentient because it doesn't get annoyed like a human? That's silly. |

I'm not sure if ChatGPT also cumulates its previous answers in the context. It might do that as well. In that case the prompts would be q, qaq and qaqaq where 'q' is your question and 'a' the earlier reaction from the LLM.
The illusion of sentience comes from this. The new answers reflected what you said because the prompt was different and included the previous discussion.
This is a feature of the user interface, not the language model. The only reason why the language model would respond differently to the same input is the artificial randomness mixed with the input. Without it it would be totally deterministic and not appear sentient at all. It would still be as knowledgeable as before. Like a parrot trained to be very good at combining key words to key responses.
