    An example of the misalignment problem. Humans and AI both agreed on the stated purpose (generate a recipe), AI just had some deeper goals in mind as well.

        Not even stupid but just badly trained for that purpose. It’s no different than a LLM asked for coding that gets most of it right but flubs a subroutine. Misalignment doesn’t imply bad or evil, it’s just doing what it thinks the goal really is while we’re ignorant of the results.

      If I ask you to create a drink using Windex and Clorox would you do any different? Do you have alignment problem too?

        Yes, I know better, but ask a kid that and perhaps they’d do it. A LLM isn’t thinking though, it’s repeating training through probabilities. And btw, yes, humans can be misaligned with each other, having self goals underneath common ones. Humans think though…well, most of them.

    Gotta love how a spokesperson for the company expressed their disappointment that people are misusing the tool, vs. being disappointed in the company for letting the AI tool go live when it is clearly not ready for prime time
