I got a bit curious and I asked GPT-4 about itself
>>>
USER
Are you GPT-4 or GPT-3?
ASSISTANT
I am an AI language model, and currently, I am based on GPT-3.
USER
What do you mean by based on GPT-3?
ASSISTANT
When I say I am based on GPT-3, it means that my underlying architecture and functionality come from the GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) model, which was developed by OpenAI. This model is designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the input it receives. As an AI assistant, I utilize the GPT-3 model to answer your questions and engage in conversation with you.
USER
But what's your name? GPT-4 or GPT-3?
ASSISTANT
My name is not GPT-4 or GPT-3. I am an AI language model based on the GPT-3 architecture. You can simply call me an AI assistant, a chatbot, or any other name you'd like to assign.
USER
What's your model name?
ASSISTANT
As an AI language model, I am based on the GPT-3 model developed by OpenAI. You can refer to me as a GPT-3 AI assistant or chatbot.
USER
But here, on the playground, I selected GPT-4!
ASSISTANT
I apologize for any confusion. As of now, GPT-4 has not been released or made available. I am based on the GPT-3 model. If you have selected GPT-4 in the playground, it may be a mistake or a placeholder for future developments. Please note that I am operating as a GPT-3 AI assistant.
USER
How do you know you are GPT-3?
ASSISTANT
I am aware that I am based on the GPT-3 model because my capabilities, architecture, and underlying structure have been designed and developed using the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) technology created by OpenAI. My knowledge database and the way I process and respond to questions are all informed by the GPT-3 model.
USER
Can you describe this awareness?
ASSISTANT
As an AI language model, my "awareness" is not like human consciousness or self-awareness. Instead, it refers to the information encoded in my programming and the knowledge base that I have access to. My "awareness" of being based on GPT-3 comes from the fact that my underlying structure, algorithms, and capabilities are built upon the GPT-3 architecture. This awareness is more like a description of my design rather than a conscious understanding of my own existence.

It doesn't seem to recognize itself as GPT-4. It think it's GPT-3.
Since an LLM has no capability of introspection, the only reason it might say something accurate about itself is that OpenAI trained it with accurate examples of what to say. Apparently they haven’t updated their fine-tuning for the default character yet.
