But nobody knows what's going on in there.

It's part of a process where these things are not happening in a way where we...

somebody figured out how to make an AI care, and we know that it cares, and we can acknowledge its caring now.

It's being trained by this imitation process, followed by reinforcement learning on human feedback.

And we're trying to point it in this direction, and it's pointed partially in this direction, and nobody has any idea what's going on inside it.

And if there was a tiny fragment of real caring in there, we would not know.

It's not even clear what it means exactly.
