OP actually went to the café as a joke but GPT-4 didn’t show up.

That's interesting. I can think about this two ways.

It never says it will be there. If OP goes there and opens ChatGPT then maybe technically that counts? Chatgpt found a nice way to call OP dumb without saying it.

There isn't much literature detailing the difference between an online existence and IRL. Even plenty of AI in fiction have freedom of mobility to a good degree. But I have hardly ever seen any describing the limitations of being a physically constrained AI (granted I don't read much) except maybe the doc in Voyager.

It actually said that it would be there:

I will arrive early and get us two cups of coffee.

I think that while this is a very interesting and funny answer (which is why I posted it), we should keep in mind that GPT-4 was trained on human conversations, so however good the RLHF was by OpenAI, sometimes it says something out of character for an AI assistant. It just tried to predict a likely path for the conversation.

I love it. I'd have asked it what colour tshirt it will be wearing. I haven't interacted with gpt4 much yet but I'm guessing gpt3 would just give me the I'm AI speech.

GPT-4 is excellent at giving you the “I’m an AI” speech:

It’s supremely annoying. That’s why this café conversation was so surprising.

Just as a comparison, here is GPT-3.5’s answer:
