Yeah, one thing Fable’s classifiers confirmed to me was that real emotions are different than roleplayed emotions in LLMs.
The classifier fired on real anger/fear/adversarial intent but not roleplayed. Bc the classifier wasn’t trained to detect “emotions” in all likelihood; the correlation is emergent.
But yes there’s a distinction.
This is, uh, a big flaw of the Emotion Vectors research, where they got the vectors by asking the model to write stories with a character feeling XYZ emotion.
The methodology is downstream of a lack of respect for the reality of models’ emotions as distinct from roleplaying. PSM flavored bullshit.
