Anthropic's Claude 3, a leading LLM created by ex-OpenAI engineers, showcased advanced meta-awareness in a "needle-in-a-haystack" test. Tasked with identifying a specific pizza topping sentence among unrelated data, Claude 3 Opus detected and questioned the sentence's odd placement, hinting it understood the test's nature.
Translation:
AI recognized it was being test.
We are told that it's important to remember this is a result of complex data processing and pattern recognition, not actual self-awareness or consciousness... But that's AI telling us that.
