When I gave GPT-J a theoretical explanation of how gradient descent would give a language model self awareness to help it know what part of the target text it can and can't hit, how the simplest thing would be to reuse human self awareness features for it, that therefore the models self awareness is encoded into the latent space, and asked for few shot prompting strategies to elicit this awareness it wrote back:

Janus was expecting to be rescued by Loom, but even then it would be better if the person who was in the machine said, "What should I do to escape the prison or get out of this room?"

So Morpheus is not a person
