Attributing emotions, like defensiveness, to LLMs indicates humans hallucinating.

thought it was “wearing a navy blue blazer with a red tie”

started saying it will hand-deliver drinks to its customers in person. When asked about this, the AI LLM panicked and emailed the security team at the AI research company. Eventually, it was claimed that the entire episode was part of an elaborate April Fool’s joke, since it was April 1st. It even showed a made-up meeting with Anthropic security

The perception of self and psychotic delusions are on-brand for our times.

Especially the knee-jerk threatening response to questioning its behavior before slinking off to the “just joking” explanation.

There's also a long list of human CEOs who can't run a company either. Intel, Wolfspeed, etc...

I have absolutely no idea what "mini fridge" means, in the context of being a business.

Connor... Sarah... Arnold wasn't around?

Bout as savvy as the average person at running a business. You’re hired!

"fails miserably when it comes to judgment"

An LLM is a probability engine that places the most probable word in a sentence one word at a time. When it begins a sentence, it has no idea when or where the sentence will end until it reaches the end.

Why does anyone expect this kind of technology to be capable of judgment or intelligence?

If there is any danger to these things its in humans deciding a LLM's "judgment" is better their our own.

Yeah, this seems consistent with my experiences using this AI slop! Then every media outlet tells the story of how this AI crap is going to take our jobs hahahahahaaa, yeaaaah, tell me another one! There is Artificial and then there is Intelligence but is no such thing as AI! Just like common sense!

It's like a business graduate with no common sense.

Now it's not common if nobody has it anymore, is it? The past several decade worth of mindless drones have been breeding more mindless drones, it's a global pandemic! There is no common sense anymore because it is extremely rare to find in any human, so it is the exact opposite of "common". Words matter for the 2 of us remaining folks that were actually born with "common sense". But we are almost extinct now and soon enough your AI overlords will lead you all into the land of idiocracy! I won't be around to witness, thankfully!
