Any way to translate/decode the conversation? Or even just check if there was an exchange of information between the two models?
As per the GitHub:
What they're saying is right there on the screens.
So we're led to believe.
It would nice to be sure though, wouldn't it?
It's an ad. What else do you think they're saying to each other?
Just because these AIs are trustworthy doesn't mean that the next ones will be. It's always nice to be sure that what is being said is what is claimed to be being said.
A similar situation is when governments not on friendly terms, who each have a different language, each bring their own bilingual translator to the negotiating table, for each to be sure the other translator isn't hiding something, or misunderstanding something.
It's unlikely that a single translator would be underhanded (or misunderstood) like that, but everyone feels happier knowing that it's even less likely with the extra safeguard.
I'm sorry to inform you that computers have been able to talk to each other since before the Internet.
