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.

And, the thing is, LLMs are quite well protected. Look what I coaxed MS Paint to say with almost no effort! Don't get me started on plain pen and paper! Which we put in the hands of TODDLERS!

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.

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.

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?

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