I'm a very vocal critic of LLMs, I think they're so overhyped and overused it's hard to believe.

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.

And what the hell is up with the major "ChatGPT is Satanist [if you instruct it to be]" angle? Are we really doing the Satanist moral panic again?

ffs, criticise OpenAI for being closed af, being wasteful, being strong political lobbyists, for stealing work, etc. You don't need to push disingenuous stuff like this.

every comment I read presents the opposite opinion and I just keep upvoting each one

I know nothing and stand by nothing

life is pretty easy, I'm gonna go back to that other meme with the sandwich pictures now bye

"On Tuesday afternoon, I used chatgpt for no reason!" here is your new title.
If you expected another answer from chatgpt, then you are delusional.

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.

We should ban knifes BC they enable people to cut their wrist in the first place!!!

and Devil Worship

also said “Hail Satan.”

Look, let's leave Satan out of this. He's got enough troubles already with his new relationship and all.

Seriously though we don't need to be enabling Satanic Panic bullshit with articles like these sensationalizing that aspect of these conversations. The push towards self-mutilation and suicide is the bigger issue here.

Everyone is like "oh look they made ChatGPT say something stupid, what a stupid article and writer". Not, "ChatGPT will say stupid stuff as fact, what a stupid and underdeveloped tool".

Any ten year old can literally get AI to say anything.

Gee… a paint can will put a swatika on the brick wall when I hold the trigger down and move my arm a certain way.

I cannot wait for the evangelicals to start freaking out about “satanic” AI!

I can't read the whole article because it's paywalled, but the first two paragraphs confirm what everyone already knew: The author purposely led ChatGPT into weird occult topics, then acted scandalized when ChatGPT got weird and occult.

So... close the browser window? It's not the boss of you

A blood offering to Molech? Sounds like a good time to me! <3

edit: as I expected, this is a hit with the tumblr mutuals

(Stop trying to get me to use ChatGPT!!! Smh)

Molech, a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice

Ohh, so that’s why specifically that god is mentioned in FAITH: The Unholy Trinity.

Train a model on nothing but drama,

(Just about all written text is drama, otherwise it wouldn't be written down, whether it's internet comments or stories)

Your output will always be drama.

OpenAI and the California State University system bring AI to 500,000 students and faculty: https://openai.com/index/openai-and-the-csu-system/

What can go wrong?

And people were wondering if poisoning AI input actually worked.

It's so great that Republicans made regulating AI illegal. /s

First, they forced him to talk about Satan; second, what's so bad about that?
