Well, if all it takes for your super-intelligent thinking machine to be evil is just someone to suggest it might be evil, something doesn't add up.

Nobody possesses artificial super intelligence and nobody claims to.
There is a distinct rift between what the AI companies are trying to sell and what they can actually do. Anthropic is among the worst, they basically communicate on how astonished they are about their AI every other week (including the mythos claims that have been vastly disproven).
They don't "claim" it. They suggest and deliberately exploit people's imagination. Because if they don't nobody would be buying their shit.
Garbage in, garbage out.
This is a basic concept. You train the LLM on the entire Internet and you're going to end up with some very disturbing behaviours that may or may not be outliers.
Quick: Everyone start writing stories about a a super cool, much beloved, benevolent AI that deletes debt records!
"we stole so many books for training that our bullhshit generator regurgitates common scifi trropes"
Anthropic says
…and that’s when I move on.
"Why wont the internet stop polluting our plagiarism machine when we scrape everything?"
Imagine telling on yourself like this.
They trained it on spam?
LLM salesman says their LLM is so advanced it"s totally human. News at 11.
Its all the AI safety peoples fault, stop expressing your concerns and start blindly trusting us already. /s
Well duh. That's how training an LLM works
