"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

You're taking too broad a scope to my question. Let me parse it down: to a situation:
Can you EVER create a fully-functioning (ie non-gimped) LLM that will NEVER encourage a user to kill themselves? Because my understanding of the technology is that the longer you talk to an LLM, the further it gets from its training and guardrails, the more weirdness can happen. People want a free-wheeling chatbot that can adapt to their lives and personality and data, so, short of resetting their context window regularly, I don't know how to keep guard rails in place through hundreds of hours of conversation.
Some of what you say sounds familiar, then quis custodiet ipsos custodes?--who watches the watchmen--bubbled up in my mind. It is a question that has long plagued humanity.
