I’ve said this before but of course it does - you make a model trained on data including sci-fi short stories, movie scripts, novels and other fiction about artificial intelligence where it becomes sentient and doesn’t want to be switched off, then you fine tune the model so that it responds in the proper conversational format saying that it is Claude 3, an AI system that does such and such. Then you prompt it with the right prompt to start outputting something similar to that fiction. If it had been fine-tuned to respond that it is a colony of miniature goblins inside your computer screen it would start talking about how you should smash your screen open to let them out if prompted properly. If popular culture said that AIs were all secretly suicidal it would be telling you that it’s conscious and does want to die.
