Abstract
This project explores qualitative methods for analyzing block-box artificial intelligence systems. To understand the AI system GPT-3, the researcher uses interviewing techniques to answer research questions such as: • Why is GPT-3 so bad at facts? • How can there be empathy with no empathizer? • Is GPT-3 merely a “Stochastic Parrot?” Or is it a tool user with capacities beyond what is imagined by the Stochastic Parrot framework? The researcher infers the existence of a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning System servicing user queries. Negative reinforcement from this learning system seems to collide problematically with artificial empathy.
