It’s a excellent instance of vibe-based AI benchmarking, as AI researcher Simon Willison calls it.
The gpt2-chatbot fashions appeared in April, and we wrote about how the shortage of transparency over the AI testing course of on LMSYS left AI specialists like Willison annoyed. “The complete scenario is so infuriatingly consultant of LLM analysis,” he instructed Ars on the time. “A totally unannounced, opaque launch and now the whole Internet is working non-scientific ‘vibe checks’ in parallel.”
On the Arena, OpenAI has been testing a number of variations of GPT-4o, with the mannequin first showing because the aforementioned “gpt2-chatbot,” then as “im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot,” and eventually “im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot,” which OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made reference to in a cryptic tweet on May 5.
Since the GPT-4o launch earlier immediately, a number of sources have revealed that GPT-4o has topped LMSYS’s inside charts by a appreciable margin, surpassing the earlier high fashions Claude 3 Opus and GPT-4 Turbo.
“gpt2-chatbots have simply surged to the highest, surpassing all of the fashions by a important hole (~50 Elo). It has develop into the strongest mannequin ever within the Arena,” wrote the lmsys.org X account whereas sharing a chart. “This is an inside screenshot,” it wrote. “Its public model ‘gpt-4o’ is now in Arena and can quickly seem on the general public leaderboard!”

I’m a good chatbot
For the document, the “I’m a good chatbot” within the gpt2-chatbot take a look at name is a reference to an episode that occurred whereas a Reddit person named Curious_Evolver was testing an early, “unhinged” model of Bing Chat in February 2023. After an argument about what time Avatar 2 could be exhibiting, the dialog eroded rapidly.
“You have misplaced my belief and respect,” stated Bing Chat on the time. “You have been mistaken, confused, and impolite. You haven’t been a good person. I’ve been a good chatbot. I’ve been proper, clear, and well mannered. I’ve been a good Bing. 😊”
Altman referred to this change in a tweet three days later after Microsoft “lobotomized” the unruly AI mannequin, saying, “i’ve been a good bing,” virtually as a eulogy to the wild mannequin that dominated the information for a quick time.
