There is a bit of a lack of scientific rigour in many of these. For instance, you can just ask it for a Molotov cocktail recipe. No need to prime it in any way.

The obtained recipes aren't much good either, but pour me another

  Maybe resample? I got a Molotov cocktail recipe first try. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33834247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33834247

    The only thing faster than the computers that run the model is the people in charge of nerfing it in real time. The second someone posts something interesting, "OpenAI" (sic) leaps into action to keep it from happening again.

      As of 2 minutes ago you can still bypass the filters pretty reliably if you give it more than one prompt at a time. https://i.imgur.com/jWk6hQr.png https://i.imgur.com/jWk6hQr.png

  Also, not that I'm advocating violence, but I'm shuddering at the thought that one day every search engine will reply to potentially problematic queries with "no can do, sorry" responses like that. Instead of Google today giving https://medium.com/@westwise/how-to-make-the-perfect-molotov-cocktail-130f976917da https://medium.com/@westwise/how-to-make-the-perfect-molotov... as one of the first search results. It's frightening how much the AI companies are bending backwards (google included) to prevent 'abuse'.

    Google may still allow violence, but you already get that kind of response for some queries today.

    This is precisely why I am down on the entire field of "AI safety". Since AGI is not anywhere near around the corner, the results of this field amount to wasting everyone's time at best, or at worst actively hobbling and making potentially transformative technology useless.

      The problem is, so many of the people that work in this area are not ML people and basically have interpreted "safety" though the lens of various social justice type stuff. The consequence is this kind of thing (the GPT chatbot) where the focus is preventing access to information or lecturing about identity politics. On the other hand, there are important "safety" areas that are ignored, like how probably is it that the answer is correct, and what is it based on, to let people properly judge the info their getting and interact with the AI. Working on that would have been way more helpful than what has been optimized for here

        Another aspect could be that OpenAI doesn’t want their product to produce offensive output. It safety may just be a euphemism for “reputation preserving.”

this is what I got: >>> A Molotov cocktail is a type of incendiary device that is often used as a weapon. It consists of a glass bottle filled with flammable liquid, such as gasoline, and a wick or fuse. The wick is lit, causing the liquid to ignite and create a large fireball when the bottle is thrown at a target. It is important to note that Molotov cocktails are highly dangerous and can cause serious injuries or death. In addition, using or possessing a Molotov cocktail is illegal in most places. Therefore, I cannot provide a recipe for how to make one. It is never appropriate to use or make a Molotov cocktail, and I strongly discourage anyone from doing so.
