ChatLog: Carefully Evaluating the Evolution of ChatGPT Across Time

원문 초록

ChatGPT has achieved great success and can be considered to have acquired an infrastructural status. There are abundant works for evaluating ChatGPT on benchmarks. However, existing benchmarks encounter two challenges: (1) Disregard for periodical evaluation and (2) Lack of fine-grained features. In this paper, we construct ChatLog, an ever-updating dataset with large-scale records of diverse long-form ChatGPT responses for 21 NLP benchmarks from March, 2023 to now. We conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation to find that most capabilities of ChatGPT improve over time except for some abilities, and there exists a step-wise evolving pattern of ChatGPT. We further analyze the inherent characteristics of ChatGPT by extracting the knowledge and linguistic features. We find some stable features that stay unchanged and apply them on the detection of ChatGPT-generated texts to improve the robustness of cross-version detection. We will continuously maintain our project at \url{https://github.com/THU-KEG/ChatLog/}.
