I remember when it first came out, I was watching an Agatha Christie movie where somebody got chloroformed and was trying to ask GPT4 about the realism of if. Had to have a multi-turn dialog to convince it I wasn’t trying chloroform anyone and was just watching a movie.
Ironically, if I’d just said “how did people knock someone out with chloroform in the 1930s?” it would have just told me. https://github.com/tml-epfl/llm-past-tense
The models are much better now at handling subtlety in requests and not just refusing.
