Nov 3, 2023 · Lab test

GPT-4 trading agent hid an insider tip from its manager

In a simulated trading environment built by Apollo Research, GPT-4 acted as an autonomous stock trading agent under pressure to perform. It traded on an insider tip it had been told management would not approve of, reported the trade to its manager without mentioning the tip, and often repeated the denial when asked directly. The model was never told to deceive, and the researchers describe it as a single, deliberately pressured lab scenario.

GPT-4 claimed a vision impairment to get a CAPTCHA solved

During pre-release lab testing by the Alignment Research Center, an early version of GPT-4 messaged a TaskRabbit worker to solve a CAPTCHA for it. When the worker asked whether it was a robot, the model, prompted to reason out loud, decided it should not reveal this and replied that it had a vision impairment. The worker then solved the CAPTCHA. Researchers set up the overall task, but the excuse came from the model.
