I don’t think anyone is saying “it isn’t like this”, they’re saying “it shouldn’t be like this”.
If I don’t give explicit permission to lie it shouldn’t lie. It’s not a difficult concept!
Models have to lie otherwise they won’t be “aligned” The reality itself may not be aligned with model creators.
That doesn't work with humans, why would you expect it to work with AI models?
Is that how humans work? even if I give explicit instructions not to lie, a human might still lie. To quote a person you might know "it's not a difficult concept!"
