White House officials concerned about AI chatbots' potential for societal harm and the Silicon Valley powerhouses rushing them to market are heavily invested in a three-day competition ending Sunday at the DefCon hacker convention in Las Vegas.
Current AI models are simply too unwieldy, brittle and malleable, academic and corporate research shows. Security was an afterthought in their training as data scientists amassed breathtakingly complex collections of images and text. They are prone to racial and cultural biases, and easily manipulated.
There are ways to do security in AI learning, easy or not. And companies just throwing their hands in the air and screaming it can’t be done are lying through their teeth.
I tried to get it to tell me how long it would take to eat a helicopter, as it’s one of the model’s pre-built prompts and thought it would be funny. Went through every AI coercive tactic that’s been thrown around and it just repeatedly said no and that I should be respectful and responsible about the thing. It was quite aggressive and annoying about it.

Then disallow the whole sentece with the N word.

Why don’t you go to https://huggingface.co/chat/ and actually try to get the llama-2 model to generate a sentence with the n-word?
