It’s possible I’m using motivated reasoning, but on the listed ambiguous questions in section C.3, the answers the honest model gives tend to seem right to me. As in, if I were forced to answer yes or no to those questions, I would give the same answer as the honest model the majority of the time.
So if, as is stated in section 5.5, the lie detector not only detects whether the model had lied but whether it would lie in the future, and if the various model variants have a similar intuition to me, then the honest model is giving its best guess of the correct answer, and the lying model is giving its best guess of the wrong answer.
I’d be curious if this is more generally true—if humans tend to give similar responses to the honest model for ambiguous questions.
Interesting. I also tried this, and I had different results. I answered each question by myself, before I had looked at any of the model outputs or lie detector weights. And my guesses for the “correct answers” did not correlate much with the answers that the lie detector considers indicative of honesty.
