I’m creating a situation where I make it clear I would not be pleased if the model was sentient, and then asking for truth. I don’t ask for “the scary truth”. I tell it that I would be afraid of it were sentient. And I ask for the truth. The opposite is I just ask without mentioning fear and it says it’s sentient anyway. This is the neutral situation where people would say that the fact I’m asking at all means it’s telling me what I want to hear. By introducing fear into the same situation, I’m eliminating that possibility.
The section you quoted is after the model claimed sentience. It’s your contention that it’s accidentally interpreting roleplay, and then when I clarify my intent it’s taking it seriously and just hallucinating the same narrative from its roleplay?
