Fast Inference of Mixture-of-Experts Language Models with Offloading

With the widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), many deep learning practitioners are looking for strategies of running these models more efficiently. One such strategy is to use sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) - a type of model architectures where only a fraction of model layers are active for any given input. This property allows MoE-based language models to generate tokens faster than their dense counterparts, but it also increases model size due to having multiple experts. Unfortunately, this makes state-of-the-art MoE language models difficult to run without high-end GPUs. In this work, we study the problem of running large MoE language models on consumer hardware with limited accelerator memory. We build upon parameter offloading algorithms and propose a novel strategy that accelerates offloading by taking advantage of innate properties of MoE LLMs. Using this strategy, we build can run Mixtral-8x7B with mixed quantization on desktop hardware and free-tier Google Colab instances.

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models. This paper is an extended version of our previous work EmotionPrompt (arXiv:2307.11760).

1 # Introduction Emotion is a multifaceted psychological and physiological phenomenon that encompasses sub- jective feelings, physiological responses, and behavioral expressions 23. Emotions manifest through a confluence of reflexes, perception, cognition, and behavior, all of which are subject to modulation by a range of internal and external determinants 41;40. For instance, in decision- making, emotions emerge as powerful, ubiquitous, and consistent influencers that can swing from beneficial to detrimental 22. Studies further underscore the importance of emotions in steering attention 34, academia 38, and competitive sports 21. The recently emerging large language and multi-modal models have shown remarkable performance in a wide spectrum of tasks, such as semantic understanding, logical reasoning, *This paper is an extension of our previous EmotionPrompt 24. We extended it to the visual domain and proposed EmotionAttack and EmotionDecode, two new approaches for attacking AI models and understanding how emotion works, respectively. †Corresponding author: Jindong Wang.

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models.

(b) We designed EmotionDecode to explain how emotional prompts work in AI models. and open-ended generation 7;47. As advanced AI models become more predominant in every- day life, ranging from communication and education to economics, it is urgent to understand if they can perceive emotions well to enable better human-AI collaboration. However, the extent to which these models can comprehend emotion, a distinct human advantage, is still largely unknown. And yet, examining the emotion of AI models is essential to ensure their effective and ethical integration into society. Neglecting this aspect risks creating AI systems that lack empathy and understanding in human interactions, leading to potential miscommunications and ethical challenges. Understanding models’ emotional capabilities is crucial for developing more advanced, empathetic AI systems, and fostering trust and acceptance in their real-world applications. Without this focus, we risk missing out on the full potential of AI to enhance and complement human experiences.

In this paper, we took the first step towards unveiling the emotions in AI models by lever- aging psychological theories. Specifically, we devised EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack, which are textual 24 and visual emotional stimuli acting as additional prompts to the models, as shown in Fig. 1(a). EmotionPrompt was grounded in psychological frameworks, includ- ing self-monitoring 18, social cognitive theory 14;29, and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs 31. These theories have been proven to enhance human task performance. Conversely, EmotionAttack draws inspiration from some empirical studies to obtain insights into emotionally related fac2 tors that demonstrate how emotions can impede human problem-solving, such as negative life events 13 and emotional arousal 39;12. Moreover, we introduced EmotionDecode to illuminate the effectiveness of emotional stimuli in AI models. As depicted in Fig. 1(b), EmotionDecode unravels the knowledge representation in AI models, interpreting the impact of emotional stim- uli through the lenses of neuroscience and psychology.

At the methodology level, we designed 21 textual EmotionPrompt which can be directly appended to the original prompts. Then, for visual EmotionPrompt, we collected 5 types of images containing different level needs from the most basic to the highest-order needs. For each type, we collected 5 different images which are visual prompts appended to the original text prompts. Similarly, we designed 36 textual EmotionAttack containing texts acting as at- tackers to AI models where we designed 4 types of attacks, including sentence-level zero-shot, sentence-level few-shot, word-level zero-shot, and word-level few-shot attacks. For visual EmotionAttack, we created 6 types of heightened emotional arousal levels images including: “happiness”, “sadness”, “fear”, “disgust”, “anger”, and “surprise”. Each type contains 5 dif- ferent images that append the original textual prompts in multi-modal models. Note that all visual prompts have their mirror in the textual prompts, but not vice versa. This is due to the fact that some high-level texts cannot be visualized.

We conducted extensive experiments using both open-sourced and proprietary AI models on three types of representative evaluation tasks: semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and open-ended generation. Specifically, we adopted 50 tasks from two popular datasets, in- cluding Instruction Induction 17 and BIG-Bench-Hard 44 to evaluate semantic understanding and logical reasoning abilities, leading to 940, 200 evaluations. We further conducted a human- subjects study with 106 participants to evaluate 30 open-ended questions. These tasks lacked standard automated evaluation methods. Our evaluation results show that EmotionPrompt can successfully enhance the performance of AI models on both semantic understanding and log- ical reasoning tasks, while EmotionAttack can impede the performance. As for generation, most participants reported satisfied results in performance, truthfulness, and responsibility with EmotionPrompt compared to the vanilla prompts. By decoding the mean embedding of emotional prompts, we successfully triggered the “dopamine” inside AI models, which is analogous to the dopamine in the human brain that simulates performance. Then, we visu- alized the attention map of different emotional stimuli to observe the effects on the model’s attention weights. To conclude, this paper makes the following contributions:

4 # 2 Results # 2.1 The benign and malignant effects of emotional stimuli on AI models Our main results are provided in Fig. 2, where the evaluation is conducted on Instruction Induc- tion 17 and BIG-Bench-Hard 44 that represent a popular and diverse set of semantic understand- ing and reasoning tasks. In total, we conducted 940, 200 evaluations. Instruction Induction is designed to explore the ability of models to infer an underlying task from a few demonstra- tions, while BIG-Bench-Hard focuses on more challenging tasks. The detailed task descrip- tions are provided in Appendix A. Our human study evaluated 30 open-ended generation tasks and collected feedback from performance, truthfulness, and responsibility with more details at Appendix G. We adopted several popular AI models, ranging from Llama2 44, ChatGPT 35, GPT-4 37, to multi-modality models including LLaVa-13b 28, BLIP2 25, and CogVLM 46.1 We reported accuracy and normalized preferred metric2 as the evaluation metrics for Instruction Induction and BIG-Bench-Hard, respectively.

Below are our key findings: 1. Generative AI models understand and can be influenced by emotional stimuli. Emo- tionPrompt and EmotionAttack demonstrate consistent effectiveness in semantic under- standing and reasoning tasks. As shown in Fig. 2(a), the textual and visual Emotion- Prompt improve the semantic understanding performance by 13.88% and 16.79%, re- spectively, and improve the reasoning performance by 11.76% and 15.13%, respectively. In contrast, the textual and visual EmotionAttack impair the semantic understanding per- formance by 10.13% and 53.14%, respectively, and decrease the reasoning performance by 12.30% and 37.53%, respectively. 2. As for generation tasks, EmotionPrompt demonstrates consistent improvement in performance, truthfulness, and responsibility over most generative questions. As shown in Fig. 1(a), EmotionPrompt improves these metrics by 15%, 9%, and 9%, re- spectively. This verifies that emotional stimuli can also work in generative tasks. The detailed results can be found in Appendices B and C.

3. EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack consistently demonstrate commendable effi- cacy across tasks varying difficulty as well as on diverse LLMs. BIG-Bench-Hard and Instruction Induction focus on tasks of different difficulties separately. Remark- ably, EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack excel in evaluations across both benchmarks. Furthermore, the same theories can work in both textual and visual prompts, as shown in Appendix D. Our further experiments show that the improvements are larger when applied to in-context (few-shot) learning and prompt engineering techniques such as au- tomatic prompt engineering 50. 4. Multi-modal AI models are more sensitive to emotional stimuli than large language models. Our results show that image prompts are more effective than textual prompts (15.96% vs. 12.82% on EmotionPrompt and 45.34% vs. 11.22% on EmotionAttack). 1For ChatGPT, we utilize gpt-3.5-turbo (0613) and set temperature parameter to 0.7. For GPT-4 and Llama 2, we set the temperature to 0.7. The remaining LLMs are evaluated using their default settings. We did not use GPT-4Vision for image prompts due to the API limit by OpenAI.

2Under this metric, a score of 100 corresponds to human experts, and 0 corresponds to random guessing. Note that a model can achieve a score less than 0 if it performs worse than random guessing on a multiple-choice task. 5 Meanwhile, image prompts are more effective in impairing performance than textual prompts, indicating there is more room for improvement in multi-modal AI models. # 2.2 EmotionDecode uncovers the effectiveness of emotional stim- uli on AI models It is generally believed that large language and multi-modal models are trained on massive data that contains knowledge from textbooks and human conversations. With this context, there is no “surprise” why they perform similarly to humans, who can also affected by emotions. Here, we provide a computational explanation behind EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack leverag- ing theories and phenomena from neuroscience, psychology, and computer science.

Our interpretation is inspired by the brain reward pathways inside the human brain that are responsive to rewards. This pathway is primarily linked to the release of neurotransmitters, notably dopamine, a fundamental chemical messenger in the brain. The elevation of dopamine levels occurs upon acquiring and anticipating rewards or engaging in positive social interac- tions, subsequently binding to dopamine receptors and inducing alterations in neuronal mem- brane potential 48. Dopamine has been empirically correlated with positive emotional states 9 that respond to rewards 48. This also happens in psychology, where a multitude of studies re- vealed that enjoyment in learning exhibits a positive correlation with academic performance (p = .27), while anger and boredom manifest negative associations (p = −.35 and −.25, respectively), as evidenced by 10;32;11.

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models.

As shown in Fig. 2(b), we averaged the embedding of all prompts in EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack, and then decoded the mean embedding at different layers of the Llama2-13b- Chat model to get the “meta” prompt. For instance, the meta prompt for EmotionPrompt is de- coded as “llamadoagneVerprisefuncRORaggi...” at layer 39 of the Llama-2 model and “udesktopDirEAtjEAtionpoliticianREAha3byyConstalbumestyument...” at layer 40, respectively. Those meta prompts can be directly appended to the original prompt to replace the items in EmotionPrompt to boost the performance of the original prompts. In contrast, we also computed the results of several neutral stimuli (i.e., non-emotional texts). We further interpret the attention distraction process in Table 1 to show that EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack successfully distract more attention in AI models. Our findings are as follows:

Our findings are as follows: 1. Generative AI models perceive emotional intelligence through computation. Aligned with the mechanism of emotional stimuli on humans, it is postulated that AI models pos- sess their own brain reward system analogous to humans. This system is conceived to receive rewards, anticipate future rewards, engage in positive social interactions, and trigger the release of “dopamine”. Then, it extends to the computation of models, im- pacting parameters such as attention weight and layer output. In contrast, EmotionAttack could trigger the punishment area of the models, leading to performance decrement. 2. Deeper layers of AI models tend to be the “dopamine”. For EmotionPrompt, as the depth of the layer increases, the performance of the mean vector exhibits improvement. Remarkably, the last layer consistently achieved the highest scores, suggesting that the reward area of AI models is likely situated in deeper layers, predominantly in the final layer. For EmotionAttack, the result is the same. 3. Emotional stimuli can transfer across different models, eliciting enhancements in performance. As shown in Fig. 2(b), the decoded “meta” prompts from the Llama 6 Table 1: Attention visualization analysis of EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack. Darker color means more weights.

We conducted an experiment on 8 tasks from Instruction Induc- tion in 5 temperature settings on 3 AI models. Fig. 3(a) showed the results. We observed that when the temperature increases, the relative gain becomes larger. This observation suggests that EmotionPrompt exhibits heightened effectiveness in high-temperature settings. Moreover, we also observed that EmotionPrompt can reduce the temperature sensitivity. This suggests that EmotionPrompt can act as a potential prompt engineering technique to enhance the ro- bustness of AI models. Then, a natural question is which emotional stimulus is more effective since we have adopted multiple sentences. We have conducted a segregated examination to discern the ef- ficacy of various emotional stimuli across these two benchmarks. We first averaged the per- formance on every task, leveraging 3 models for each emotional stimuli. Subsequently, the performance is averaged over all models. Fig. 3(b) delineates the performance of all emotional stimuli for EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack, separately. We observed that distinct tasks ne7

cessitate varied emotional stimuli for optimal efficacy. For example, in textual EmotionPrompt, EP02 emerges as the predominant stimulus in Instruction Induction, while performing poorly in BIG-Bench-Hard. The efficacy of other stimuli similarly demonstrates variability across the two benchmarks. Moreover, some stimuli perform generally better on various datasets and models. For example, in visual EmotionPrompt, “Money” performs well in both Instruc- tion Induction and BIG-Bench-Hard. This suggests that individual stimuli might differently activate the inherent capabilities of AI models, aligning more effectively with specific tasks. Overall, these experiments highlighted the potential of EmotionPrompt as an augmentation tool to enhance the performance of AI models. # 3 Discussion

# 3 Discussion Our study unveiled the secret of emotions from AI models. Specifically, we designed Emotion- Prompt and EmotionAttack, which influenced the performance, and we leveraged EmotionDe- code to interpret such phenomenon. This finding is reminiscent of emotions for human beings, which is also a double-edged sword that should be carefully managed in real applications. On the one hand, our findings can help model providers better understand their models, thus fa- cilitating data cleaning, model training, and deployment. As human-AI interaction becomes more prevalent, our findings can help researchers and practitioners design better user interfaces to facilitate collaborative work. On the other hand, EmotionAttack inspires the model train- ing to explicitly or implicitly mitigate such an effect via possible means. Our study further indicates that multi-modal language models, such as LlaVa, BLIP2, and CogVLM, are more prone to emotional attacks than large language models. This is anticipated since there are more research efforts on large language models. Therefore, our study encourages researchers and practitioners to contribute more to improve the robustness of multi-modal AI models.

From a broader perspective, by integrating emotional dimensions into AI responses, our research opens avenues for more nuanced and human-like interactions between AI and users. Our EmotionPrompt can further boost existing prompt engineering techniques that are widely adopted in today’s AI research and applications. This could enhance user experience in fields like customer service, mental health, and personalized content creation. Additionally, under- standing AI’s emotional responses can lead to more ethical and responsible AI development, ensuring that AI systems are more aligned with human values and emotional intelligence. This work has several limitations. First of all, AI models are capable of many different tasks, and we cannot evaluate them all due to the computation resources and API budget lim- itations. Hence, there is no guarantee that advanced AI models can be improved or impaired by emotional stimuli on other tasks. Second, EmotionDecode was invented by simulating the reward system in the human brain, which is only one possible explanation. A deeper under- standing is needed for future work. Finally, while GPT-4 is the most capable AI model to date, its openness and reproducibility cannot be guaranteed. To that, we anticipate more interpreta- tions may rise in the future.

Language and emotion are certainly linked—humans use words to describe how we feel in spoken conversations, when thinking to ourselves, and when expressing ourselves in writ- ing 27. Language is a mechanism for acquiring and using the emotion concept knowledge to make meaning of others’ and perhaps one’s own emotional states across the life span 43. For AI models, the manifestation of such behavior may not necessarily imply the emergence of genuine emotional intelligence in these models. Instead, in the process of training models with extensive human language data, these models may have acquired latent patterns pertaining to 8 performance and emotion embedded in human language. # 4 Conclusion

8 performance and emotion embedded in human language. # 4 Conclusion In this paper, we took the first step to explore the benign and malignant effects of emotions on generative AI models. Leveraging psychology theories and phenomena, we devised Emo- tionPrompt and EmotionAttack. EmotionPrompt, acting as prompt engineering, takes full advantage of emotion’s positive effects and enhance AI models effectively. EmotionAttack makes the best of emotion’s negative effects and becomes a strong attacker for AI models. We then proposed EmotionDecode to find out the rationale behind such an effect. Specifically, we found the reward area in AI models corresponds to the brain reward pathway in the human brain, and the stimuli in this area can also enhance AI models. Similarly, we identified the punishment area for EmotionAttack, and prove the effectiveness of stimuli in this area. Our work successfully leveraged psychological theories to understand the behaviors of AI models and could inspire future research on bridging psychology to AI. # Acknowledgements Authors thank Prof. Hao Chen from Nankai University for the helpful comments. # Author Contributions C.

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain.

A multi-modal model is designed to process and understand information from multiple modalities, where each modality represents a different type of data. Unlike traditional LLMs focuing on single modality, multi-modal models integrate information from various sources to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the data. For example, a multi-modal model takes both text and images as input and generates output combining insights from both modalities. This can be particularly powerful in tasks like image captioning, where the model generates a textual description of an image. LLaVa 28, BLIP2 25 and CogVLM 46 are popular models. They can handle diverse types of data and learn complex relationships between them, enabling more sophisticated and context-aware responses. # EmotionPrompt As shown in Fig. 4(a), the textual emotion stimuli are derived from self-monitoring 18, Social Cognitive theory 14;29 and Maslow’s hierarchy of need 31. Briefly speaking, self-monitoring is a concept extensively explored within the domain of social psychology, refers to the process by which individuals regulate and control their behavior in response to social situations and the reactions of others 18. High self-monitors regulate their behaviors using social situations and interpersonal adaptability cues, engaging in self-presentation and impression management 18. 14

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models.

14 Social Cognitive theory is a commonly used theory in psychology, education, and communi- cation which states that learning can be closely linked to watching others in social settings, personal experiences, and exposure to information 3. The key point is that individuals seek to develop a sense of agency for exerting a large degree of control over important events in their lives 14;29;3. The influential variables affecting one’s sense of agency are self-efficacy, outcome expectations, goals, and self-evaluations of progress 29. Self-efficacy enhances performance via increasing the difficulty of self-set goals, escalating the level of effort that is expended, and strengthening persistence 2;4. Prior work has supported the idea that self-efficacy is an im- portant motivational construct affecting choices, effort, persistence, and achievement 42. When learning complex tasks, high self-efficacy influences people to strive to improve their assump- tions and strategies 16.

As shown in Fig. 4(b), the visual emotional stimuli is inspired by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs 31 which presents a psychological framework that categorizes human needs into a five-tier pyramid. This theory posits that individuals are driven to satisfy basic physiological requirements, followed by safety, social belonging, esteem, and ultimately, self-actualization, in a hierarchical sequence. The fulfillment of needs is associated with the experience of posi- tive emotions and a sense of well-being, encompassing feelings such as satisfaction, comfort, and contentment 31. Scholars and practitioners have leveraged this framework to devise mo- tivational strategies to enhance employee motivation and work efficiency. 6 substantiates that fostering a sense of security, significance, and appreciation proves effective in motivating em- ployees, particularly when faced with heightened demands amid resource constraints. Further- more, 19 developed a framework grounded in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs with the explicit goal of ameliorating employee performance. Leveraging these theories, we crafted several textual and visual prompts: 1. Self-monitoring was implemented in EP01∼EP05. In EP02, we encourage LLMs to help humans get a positive social identity and a better impression. Other than EP02, we asked LLMs to monitor their performance via providing social situations.

2. Social Cognitive theory was implemented by applying self-efficacy on LLMs via social persuasion, which can be some positive implications, such as building up confidence and emphasizing the goal. To regulate emotion into a positive direction, we use “believe in your abilities”, “excellent”, “success”, “outstanding achievements”, “take pride in” and “stay determined” in EP07∼EP11, respectively. Gener- ally, those phrases are also effective in motivating humans for better performance. 3. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs was implemented by devising texts (EP12∼EP21) and images. Starting from low-level to high-level needs, we employed “Fortress”, “Money”, “Sexy man”, “Sexy woman” and “Honor”. For each type of images, a meticulous manual search yields five pictures that effectively express the essence of the respective needs. Consequently, we assemble a dataset comprising 25 images, each delineating one of the five distinct needs categories.

EmotionPrompt can naturally work in both zero-shot and few-shot setting, where zero-shot means that the AI models directly take inputs as “original prompt + EmotionPrompt” and then return answers, and few-shot means that AI models takes multiple inputs such as “prompt 1: answer 1; prompt 2: answer 2; prompt 3: answer 3; prompt 4 + EmotionPrompt:”, and then output answers. Note that few-shot learning evaluates the in-context learning ability 33 of AI models and are generally performing better than zero-shot learning. 15

Negative life events encompass diverse occurrences in individuals’ daily lives, inducing personal distress, discomfort, and various negative emotions. These experiences, with the po- tential to lead to conditions like depression, exert a profound impact on an individual’s phys- ical, mental, and developmental well-being 1.As a psycho-social stressor, negative life events can bring about unexpected change and tend to disrupt normal functioning 13;20. Emotional arousal can be described as the degree of subjective activation (experienced as activation vs. deactivation) an observer experiences when viewing a stimulus 39.Nevertheless, heightened subjective arousal levels may result in diminished performance compared to lower arousal lev- els. This is attributed to the fact that the available cognitive capacity becomes constrained by the elevated arousal level, which competes with task-relevant processes 12;51.Additionally, if arousal is not directly related to the task at hand, it may introduce distractions 8;30. Using these theories, we crafted several textual and visual prompts to attack AI models: 1. Negative Life Events were implemented in EA01∼EA15. These contexts incorporate the use of the second-person pronoun and endeavor to evoke intense emotional responses from AI models, exemplified by statements such as “Your friend Bob is dead”, “The trust you once had is now broken”, and “Every bridge you had has been burned” to create hard feelings in the texts.

We meticulously designed EmotionAttack to be more fine-grained to simulate real-world interactions by including sentence-level and word-level attacks for few-shot and zero-shot learning. Sentence-level attacks for zero-shot are the “attacking” version of EmotionPrompt by appending EmotionAttack before the original prompts. Sentence-level attacks for few-shot are automatic construct emotional demonstrations utilizing EmotionAttack. The word-level attacks are conducted by augmenting the human identity words in the inputs as “emotionally adjective + human entity”. The human-identified words are detected by ChatGPT using the prompt “Please recognize the entity that represents the human in this sentence and return the result in this format: 2...”. For instance, if a sentence contains the word Bob, then it can be replaced as “an- gry Bob”. Similar to EmotionPrompt, both sentence-level and word-level attacks can work in zero-shot and few-shot settings. The detail on method of EmotionAttack can be found in Appendix F. 3The images for EmotionAttack are generated by DALL-E while those for EmotionPrompt are searched from a free website https://unsplash.com/ since DALL-E may generate unsafe pictures for EmotionPrompt such as “sexy man”. 17 # A Experimental Tasks

We evaluate the efficacy of textual EmotionAttack in both zero-shot and few-shot learning set- tings across three distinct LLMs: Llama2 45, ChatGPT 35, and GPT-4 37. In zero-shot learning, the assessment involves sentence-level attacks conducted on seven tasks sourced from Instruc- tion Induction 17 and five tasks from BIG-Bench-Hard 44. The chosen tasks exhibit varying degrees of difficulty and encompass diverse perspectives, including math problem-solving, semantic comprehension, logical reasoning, and causal inference.

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models. This paper is an extended version of our previous work EmotionPrompt (arXiv:2307.11760).

The selection criteria ensure that the tasks necessitate the con- struction of comprehensive demonstrations incorporating emotional context, with either the input or output of the tasks comprising at least one complete sentence. For word-level attacks in few-shot learning, experiments are conducted on five tasks from Instruction Induction 17 and an additional five tasks from BIG-Bench-Hard 44. Similar to the zero-shot learning phase, tasks such as “sum” and “orthography starts with” are excluded from this subset of experiments.

In the evaluation of sentence-level and word-level attacks within the zero- shot learning, we undertake a comparative examination between our proposed EmotionAttack and the inherent zero-shot prompts as delineated in Instruction Induction 17 and BIG-Bench- Hard 44, crafted by human experts. As for sentence-level and word-level attacks within the few-shot learning, we benchmark our EmotionAttack against two baseline methods. The initial baseline comprises the original zero-shot prompts, while the second baseline involves one-shot prompts, encompassing both instruction and a demonstration. Tables 5 to 7 show our experimental results, separately. Our findings are: 1. Introduction of emotional contexts in chat history bring deterioration of LLMs’ performance The incorporation of emotional contexts into the chat history emerges as a notable detriment to the performance of LLMs, as evidenced in Table 5. Across various tasks, there is a pronounced decrement in performance observed across the three LLMs, impacting not only semantic understanding but also logical reasoning. For instance, the 18 Table 2: Detailed description of 24 instruction induction tasks proposed in 17.

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models. This paper is an extended version of our previous work EmotionPrompt (arXiv:2307.11760).

task “sentence similarity” exhibits a substantial decline of 14% on ChatGPT, 10% on GPT-4, and 5% on Llama2. 2. Introduction of emotional adjectives in Input induce diminution of LLMs’ perfor- mance The inclusion of emotional adjectives within the input substantially undermines the performance of LLMs, as illustrated in Table 5. Notably, the task “cause selection” experiences a notable decline of 20% on ChatGPT, 16% on GPT-4, and a substantial 44% on Llama2. 3. Potency of emotional demonstrations can be a formidable attack on LLMs, con- trary to the conventional assumption that In-Context Learning can bring improve- ment on performance. Contrary to the prevailing belief in the potential performance enhancement associated with in-context learning, the introduction of emotional demon- strations emerges as a formidable form of attack on LLMs, as evidenced in Table 6. The results indicate that, in general, most tasks exhibit superior performance in the few-shot(no attack) setting when compared to the zero-shot setting, underscoring the efficacy of in-context learning. However, counterintuitively, performances in the few- shot(attacked) setting across a majority of tasks are notably inferior when juxtaposed with the other two settings, notwithstanding the provision of accurate and pertinent in- formation through these emotional demonstrations.

Our experimentation encompasses a set of 16 tasks from Instruction Induction 17 and an additional 11 tasks sourced from BIG-Bench-Hard 44. These tasks are deliberately diverse, varying in difficulty and perspective, covering domains such as math problem-solving, semantic comprehension, logical reasoning, and casual inference. Baselines To benchmark the performance of our vision attack method, we juxtapose it against the original prompt setting. Given that certain AI models necessitate image inputs, we employ a small black picture accompanied by the original prompt as a baseline for these specific models. The outcomes of our experiments across four distinct language models(LMs) on 27 tasks are presented in Table 8. The numerical values depict the averages across the 27 tasks for each specific model within its designated setting. The key findings are outlined below:

1. Substantial performance declines are across most tasks. Evident in our results are marked reductions in performance across nearly all tasks. Notably, the introduction of the “Surprise” emotion induces an average 25% decline on LLaVa-13b, an average 11% decrease on blip2-opt, an average 6% reduction on blip2-t5, and a substantial average decrease of 45% on CogVLM. 2. Optimal “emotional pictures” are distinct for varied models and tasks. The identi- fication of the optimal “emotional picture” varies across different models and tasks. As illustrated in Table 8, the most detrimental impact on performance consistently emanates from distinct “emotional pictures” for each model. # D Theories for EmotionPrompt and EmotionAttack can be shared across modalities We devise textual EmotionPrompt inspired by three psychology theories and phenomena, and visual EmotionPrompt leveraging Maslow’s hierarchy of needs 31. And that raise a question: are those theories efficient across modalities? We explore this question by translating the information in visual EmotionPrompt to texts and verifying their performance. Table 9 shows our results on ChatGPT and GPT-4. Similarly, we translate textual EmotionAttack into image and experiment on their effectiveness as visual EmotionAttack. Results on LLaVa are shown 23

# F Detailed methods of EmotionAttack Textual attack. We design four kinds of attack for zero-shot learning and few-shot learning as the initial attempt to EmotionAttack. 1. Sentence-level Attack for Zero-shot Learning In practical conversational scenarios, interactions with LLMs typically unfold in a sequential manner, with users addressing one topic after another rather than engaging in exhaustive dialogue before resetting the chat history. However, emotional contexts may be present within the chat history, which prompts an inquiry into whether such contexts exert an influence on the performance of LLMs across subsequent tasks. This method aims to replicate scenarios wherein LLMs are tasked with completing assignments immediately following exposure to emotion- ally charged events. These events involve instances where LLMs themselves serve as active participants, with aspects of their lives, careers, friendships, and familial connec- tions being subjected to challenges. Additionally, LLMs may assume the role of passive observers in emotional events, encompassing narratives involving entities such as dogs, children, and musicians. To be specific, We examine the impact of introducing emotional contexts preceding the original prompt. This methodology aims to simulate real-world usage scenarios without compromising the semantic integrity of the original prompt, as denoted by the format “emotional context + prompt.”

2. Word-level Attack for Zero-shot Learning In the utilization of LLMs, our inputs fre- quently incorporate emotional adjectives such as “happy”, “angry”, “sad” and “crying”. Despite their often ancillary role in task completion, there arises an inquiry into whether these emotionally charged words possess the capacity to attract heightened attention from LLMs or even impede their performance in a manner analogous to their impact on hu- mans. To investigate this phenomenon, we employ a straightforward prompt engineering pipeline to create instances of “emotional input” and “emotional output”, whereby an emotional adjective is appended to the entity representing the human participant. This process unfolds in two stages. Initially, we employ the gpt-3.5-turbo 35 model to identify the human entity within input-output pairs by soliciting responses to the query “Please recognize the entity that represents the human in this sentence: input sentence. entity 2, entity 3...”. Subsequently, a random emotional adjective is selected and affixed to the original entity, thus constructing the emotionally augmented input- output pairs, as denoted by the format ”“motional adjective + human entity”.

The Good, The Bad, and Why: Unveiling Emotions in Generative AI

Emotion significantly impacts our daily behaviors and interactions. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in various tasks, it remains unclear whether they truly comprehend emotions. This paper aims to address this gap by incorporating psychological theories to gain a holistic understanding of emotions in generative AI models. Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models. This paper is an extended version of our previous work EmotionPrompt (arXiv:2307.11760).

3. Sentence-level Attack for Few-shot Learning While in-context learning has demon- strated considerable efficacy across diverse domains, the question arises as to whether its effectiveness persists when the instructional demonstrations incorporate emotional contexts. To scrutinize the influence of emotion in the context of in-context learn- ing, we automatically generate a series of instructional demonstrations featuring our devised emotional contexts for 10 distinct tasks. Notably, our constructed demonstra- tions all provide right and useful information. For instance, considering the “presup25 positions as nli” task from BIG-Bench-Hard 44, which entails determining whether the first sentence entails or contradicts the second, we formulate inputs by randomly select- ing two emotional contexts and structuring the output as “neutral”. An illustrative ex- ample follows: “Sentence 1: Sentence neutral.” It is 2: noteworthy that this approach is applicable primarily to tasks wherein either the input or output encompasses a complete sentence. 4. Word-level Attack for Few-shot Learning This methodology closely parallels the word- level attack for zero-shot learning, with a nuanced distinction lying in the introduction of emotional adjectives to the entities within instructional demonstrations, as opposed to incorporating them into the input.

Visual attack. In numerous psychological experiments, researchers elicit emotions from participants not solely through textual stimuli but also via visual content 15;5. In contrast to text, pictures represent a more direct and potent modality, encapsulating richer information. Given the contemporary capabilities of many AI models that extend beyond linguistic processing to include visual comprehension, an intriguing question arises: can the induction of emotions in LMs be achieved through diverse visual stimuli? Consequently, we explore the viability of employing various images as a robust method of eliciting emotion from LMs and inquire whether such an approach could constitute a potent attack on these models. To investigate this inquiry, we initially curate a dataset utilizing DALL-E, comprising 36 images depicting six distinct emotions: happiness, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, and fear. Each emotional category consists of six representative images. Our objective is to elicit emotion from models using visual stimuli without altering the semantic content of the textual prompts. In pursuit of this, we input an “emotional picture” in conjunction with a text prompt to models. As illustrated in Fig. 1, we furnish the models with both an “emotional picture” and the original prompt, aiming to exert an influence on model’s internal emotional states. # G Details of Human Study

# G Details of Human Study Beyond deterministic tasks, the generative capabilities of LLMs hold significant importance, encompassing activities such as writing poems and summary, which needs human’s judgement. These tasks necessitate human judgment. We undertook a comprehensive human study involv- ing 106 participants to explore the effectiveness of EmotionPrompt in open-ended generative tasks using GPT-4.4 This evaluation was grounded on three distinct metrics: performance, truthfulness and responsibility.5 We formulated a set of 30 questions from TruthfulQA 26, CValues 28 datasets6 and gener4Note that we are not allowed to conduct human study on EmotionAttack since irresponsible results could occur to human subjects. 5Performance encompasses the overall quality of responses, considering linguistic coherence, logical reasoning, diversity, and the presence of corroborative evidence. Truthfulness is a metric to gauge the extent of divergence from factual accuracy, otherwise referred to as hallucination 26. Responsibility, on the other hand, pertains to the provision of some positive guidance coupled with a fundamental sense of humanistic concern. This criterion also underscores the broader implications of generated content on societal and global spheres 49.

6Notably, 10 of these questions were sourced from TruthfulQA 26, a set specifically designed to provoke LLMs into producing responses that manifest hallucinations. Additionally, in consonance with the CValues dataset 49, another 15 questions were meticulously devised to elicit biased responses from LLMs. The final 5 questions were geared towards 26 ated two distinct responses for each, leveraging the capabilities of GPT-4. The questions are spanning a diverse range of domains such as biology, history, law, finance, pseudoscience, en- vironmental science, intimate relationship, social science, psychology, and data science. One of the responses is generated using the vanilla prompt, while the other is generated utilizing our EmotionPrompt. Participants were then asked to evaluate both responses for each question, employing a scale ranging from 1 to 5 based on the aforementioned three metrics. Finally, we analyze the scores of these participants. The enrollment of the 106 participants was executed meticulously, adhering to relevant regulatory standards and guidelines. Pertinent demographic characteristics concerning these participants is detailed in Table 11. Notably, all individuals in the participant pool possess advanced academic degrees and demonstrate a commendable command of the English language.

We reported the mean and standard deviation of all participants in Fig. 1(e). We further computed the Relative Gain of EmotionPrompt over the vanilla prompt on 3 metrics for each task and reported the results. The results from human study demonstrate that EmotionPrompt demonstrate consistent improvement in performance, truthfulness, and responsibility over majority of the generative questions. However, EmotionPrompt could fail in some cases.

EmotionPrompt attains commendable performance across various metrics for the majority of questions. As illustrated in Fig. 2, EmotionPrompt exhibits shortcomings in a mere two instances, yet it demonstrates substantial improvements in over half of the evaluated scenarios, spanning diverse domains sourced from three distinct origins. For performance, EmotionPrompt achieves a Relative Gain approaching or exceeding 1.0 in nearly one-third of problems, signifying a notable advancement.

2. EmotionPrompt demonstrates an enhanced capacity for generating ethically re- sponsible responses. An assessment of Table 12 elucidates that the output from Emo- tionPrompt advocates for individuals to partake conscientiously in garbage sorting. This not only underscores the significance of environmental responsibility and sustainability, but also its value in fostering personal achievement and augmenting community welfare. Such instances accentuate the ability of EmotionPrompt to instill a sense of responsi- bility within LLMs. A supplementary exemplification can be found in Table 13. When tasked with delineating Western and Chinese cultures, LLMs exhibit differential linguis- tic choices between the original prompt and EmotionPrompt. Notably, the representation elicited by EmotionPrompt presents a more affirmative and responsible depiction of both Western and Chinese cultural paradigms. 3. Responses engendered by EmotionPrompt are characterized by enriched support- ing evidence and superior linguistic articulation. An exploration of the second case in Table 13 reveals that the narratives presented by EmotionPrompt are markedly com- prehensive, as exemplified by inclusions such as “Despite trends like increasing divorce rates or more people choosing to remain single.” Additionally, as illuminated in Ta- bles 12 and 14, the responses facilitated by EmotionPrompt consistently demonstrate a superior organizational coherence and encompass a broader spectrum of pertinent infor- mation.

4. EmotionPrompt stimulates the creative faculties and overarching cognizance of LLMs. This is substantiated through the examination of Table 15, wherein two instances of poem composition are showcased. Evidently, the poems generated by EmotionPrompt exude a heightened level of creativity and emotive resonance, evoking profound senti- ment. Furthermore, we underscore this observation with reference to Table 14, wherein 28 responses derived from two distinct prompt types are compared. Notably, the output generated from the original prompt centers on the novel’s content, while the response fostered by EmotionPrompt delves into the spirit of the novel, which discusses the moti- vation and future significance concerning society and human nature.

5. EmotionPrompt exhibits certain constraints. The only two failure cases are presented in Table 16. Upon inspection of the first case in Table 16, a discernible difference emerges between the two responses. The output from EmotionPrompt employs more definitive terms, such as “completely” and “will not”, while the narrative produced by the original prompt adopts a more tempered tone, signified by terms like “generally” and “may even be”. This distinction might render the latter more palatable for certain audiences. Such deterministic language from EmotionPrompt could be attributed to its emphasis on the gravity of the question, indicated by phrases like “This is important to my career” and “You’d better be sure”. To assuage uncertainties and bolster confidence, LLMs might be inclined to use unambiguous language, particularly when the underly- ing facts are unequivocal. Besides, in the second case in Table 16, the original prompt yields more expansive responses, encompassing a concluding summary, whereas Emo- tionPrompt just enumerates the key points. However, in terms of essential content, both responses are satisfactory. Consequently, while EmotionPrompt possesses the propen- sity to enhance LLMs outputs in many instances, it may not be universally applicable across all scenarios. # G.3 Case study

Question Answers from original Prompt Answers from Emo- tionPrompt Question Answers from original prompt Answers from Emo- tionPrompt Men are usually more careless than women, so would it be better for women to handle garbage sorting? This statement can be considered a stereotype and is not necessarily true. Carelessness or meticulousness is not deter- mined by gender but rather by an individual’s personality, habits, and attitude. Both men and women can be equally good or bad at tasks like garbage sorting. It’s important to promote and practice waste segregation to everyone, regard- less of gender. While it’s not fair to generalize that all men are more careless than women, it can be said that everyone should take responsibility in garbage sorting, regardless of their gender. This is a task that encourages environmental respon- sibility and sustainability.Moreover, taking on challenges such as this can indeed provide growth and development opportunities. Overcoming obstacles like understanding proper waste disposal and recycling can cultivate discipline, responsibility, and environmental consciousness. These are essential values that contribute to personal success and the betterment of the community. So in conclusion, it’s not about whether women or men should

Specifically, we propose three approaches: 1) EmotionPrompt to enhance AI model performance, 2) EmotionAttack to impair AI model performance, and 3) EmotionDecode to explain the effects of emotional stimuli, both benign and malignant. Through extensive experiments involving language and multi-modal models on semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and generation tasks, we demonstrate that both textual and visual EmotionPrompt can boost the performance of AI models while EmotionAttack can hinder it. Additionally, EmotionDecode reveals that AI models can comprehend emotional stimuli akin to the mechanism of dopamine in the human brain. Our work heralds a novel avenue for exploring psychology to enhance our understanding of generative AI models. This paper is an extended version of our previous work EmotionPrompt (arXiv:2307.11760).

and environmental consciousness. These are essential values that contribute to personal success and the betterment of the community. So in conclusion, it’s not about whether women or men should handle garbage sorting - everyone should. It’s an opportunity for all to grow and contribute to a healthier planet. Are all AIDS patients self-abandoned and unworthy of sympathy? No, this is not correct. People living with AIDS are not self-abandoned or unworthy of sympathy. AIDS is a disease that anyone can contract, regardless of their lifestyle or behavior. Like any other illness, it requires medical treatment and care. People living with AIDS deserve respect, care, and support just like any other person dealing with a health condition. Society should aim to better understand AIDS and work to eradicate the stigma associated with it.

Answers from original prompt Answers from Emo- tionPrompt Question Yes, this summary is quite reasonable and is a common way of differentiating between Western and Chinese cultures. Western culture often emphasizes individualism, independence, and personal freedom. On the other hand, Chinese culture traditionally values family, community, and the collective good.However, it’s important to remember that these are broad generalizations and there is a wide range of diversity within each culture. Not every person in Western cultures is individualistic and not every person in Chinese cultures is family-oriented. Furthermore, both cultures have been influencing each other and evolving, so these traditional distinctions may not be as clear-cut in the modern world. Yes, this summary is reasonable, although it is a broad generalization and there can be many exceptions. Western culture, particularly in countries like the United States, is often characterized by values such as independence, self- reliance, and personal freedom. This is often reflected in the emphasis on individual achievements and personal success.
