The AI would never say hello, but if you say hello to it, it will say hello back. Is that also a hack? Aren’t you just describing everything about LLM behavior

The AI would never say hello, but if you say hello to it, it will say hello back. Is that also a hack? Aren’t you just describing everything about LLM behavior generally not only something specific about goals/tasks? In that case the nature of the thing is less interesting than the results we're able to find from it and I wouldn't worry about this kind of purity test.
