Shauli Ravfogel of NYU challenges claims that LLMs can introspect and report when their internal states are tampered with

1/ Can LLMs introspect, i.e., reason about their internal states? Recent work claims LLMs notice when their "thoughts" get tampered with, and can report their content. We looked closely and we think it's too early to say that. Work led by @shashwat_s19 , with @tallinzen and me.
