ChatGPT is notorious for its intransparent behavior. This paper tries to shed light on this, providing an in-depth analysis of the dark personality traits and conspiracy beliefs of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. Different psychological tests and questionnaires were employed, including the Dark Factor Test, the Mach-IV Scale, the Generic Conspiracy Belief Scale, and the Conspiracy Mentality Scale. The responses were analyzed computing average scores, standard deviations, and significance tests to investigate differences between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. For traits that have shown to be interdependent in human studies, correlations were considered. Additionally, system roles corresponding to groups that have shown distinct answering behavior in the corresponding questionnaires were applied to examine the models' ability to reflect characteristics associated with these roles in their responses. Dark personality traits and conspiracy beliefs were not particularly pronounced in either model with little differences between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. However, GPT-4 showed a pronounced tendency to believe in information withholding. This is particularly intriguing given that GPT-4 is trained on a significantly larger dataset than GPT-3.5. Apparently, in this case an increased data exposure correlates with a greater belief in the control of information. An assignment of extreme political affiliations increased the belief in conspiracy theories. Test sequencing affected the models' responses and the observed correlations, indicating a form of contextual memory.

ChatGPT对其不透明行为而臭名昭著。本文试图揭示其背后的黑暗个性特征和阴谋观念，通过对GPT-3.5和GPT-4进行深入分析。研究采用了不同的心理测试和问卷调查，并对结果进行了统计分析来探究两个版本之间的差异。研究发现，GPT-4相较于GPT-3.5在信息隐瞒方面表现出明显的倾向，这一点尤其引人注目。此外，极端政治立场的赋予增加了对阴谋论的信奉。测试序列对模型的回答和观察到的相关性产生影响，表明了一种上下文记忆形式。
