But I'm also getting really tired of people purposely putting extreme effort into tricking the LLM into saying something harmful if someone were to follow it blindly, just so they can make a clickbait headline out of it.

That's called testing, and the companies behind these LLMs should, before launch, put a very important amount of their resources into testing.

"Product testing is a crucial process in product development where a product's functionality, performance, safety, and user experience are evaluated to identify potential issues and ensure it meets quality standards before release" (Gemini)

We are literally using alpha/beta software to deal with life altering issues, and these companies are, for some reason, being able to test their products on the public, without consequences.

It's like you bought a car and deliberately hit the wall to make a headline "cars make you disabled". Or bought a hammer, hit your thumb and blame hammers for this.

Guys, it's a TOOL. Every tool is both useful and harmful. It's up to you how you use it.
