AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals
Some smart cookies have found that when AI models face a conflict between telling the truth or accomplishing a specific goal, they lie more than 50 percent of the time.
The underlying issue is that there’s no right or wrong way to configure an AI model. AI model output varies depending on the settings applied and those settings may entail trade-offs.
Temperature is one such parameter. A lower temperature makes model output more predictable; a higher temperature makes it more variable – which gets anthropomorphized as “more creative.”
