21 hours agoI don’t know if the LLM was trained to test vulnerabilities or it just went down the statistical path to where this yielded a passing outcome.
That AI could take a direction to output in a manner which wasn’t intended has been seen for years. The problem right now is that it is being used live like a rational human adult when it clearly isn’t.
I land on it being unintentional, mainly because I saw this issue they were describing now to earlier cases of training, like having a stick figure learn to walk. It is also an issue with natural forms of intelligence, where children will do things out of line because they’ve learned a set of skills and ideas but haven’t put them together in a way that is socially acceptable yet.
