From the paper,

>While larger models were less truthful, they were more informative. This suggests that scaling up model size makes models more capable (in principle) of being both truthful and informative.

I suppose that was what i was getting at.

The only hold up with the original paper is that none of the models evaluated were instruct aligned.

But you can see the performance of more models here

You can see the text Davinci models are way more truthful than similar sized or even larger models. And the davinci models are more truthful than the smaller aligned Anthropic model.
