Researchers tested large language models GPT and LLaMA2 for theory of mind by asking the AI models questions about similar scenarios and compared these results to human participants. GPT-4 models performed at and sometimes even better than human levels at identifying indirect requests, false beliefs, and misdirection but detected faux pas less well. Overall, LLaMA2 did not perform well on these theory of mind tasks compared to humans.
