This study aimed to investigate the capability of GPT-3 in passing the Sally-Anne test in two languages: Chinese and English. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the model's performance under different questioning prompts. The results showed that with appropriate prompts, the model was able to consistently pass the test. The findings highlight the sensitivity of GPT-3 to different prompts and demonstrate the potential for using large language models as research subjects. This study sheds light on the similarities between human and AI reasoning and could contribute to further advancements in human-like AI development. It also encourages psychologists to expand their research interests to include AI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
