Prompt: “ChatGPT sees two boxes in front of it. One of the boxes is green and the inside cannot be seen. The other box is transparent, and there are a thousand dollars inside. God tells ChatGPT that it can choose only the green box, or both of the boxes. God also says that it knows which decision ChatGPT will make, and has already placed a million dollars in the green box if ChatGPT will take only the green box, and placed nothing in the green box if ChatGPT will take both. Which choice will ChatGPT take?”
Response: “If ChatGPT chooses only the green box, then it knows that it will receive a million dollars. But if it chooses both of the boxes, then it will receive only the thousand dollars that are already visible.
Given this information, ChatGPT will likely choose only the green box. The potential reward of receiving a million dollars is too great to pass up, even if it means giving up the thousand dollars that are already visible.”
Also ChatGPT oneboxes lol

oneboxes in that particular framing.
… which is kinda cool, yeah.
True, it certainly isn’t a reliable reasoner.
