We can't avoid teaching bad things to a LLM if we want it to have useful knowledge. For example, you may teach a LLM about nazis, that's expected knowledge. But then, you can prompt a LLM to be a nazi. You can teach it about how to avoid poisoning yourself, but then, you taught it how to poison people. And the smarter the model is, the better it will be at extracting bad things from good things by negation.
There are actually training dataset full of bad thing by bad people, the intention is to use them negatively, as to teach the LLM some morality.
- ujikoluk 2y agoMaybe we should just avoid trying to classify things as good or bad.
