alt Hacker NewsThat doesn't make sense. LLMs just do what we tell them to do. It's similar to if I ask you for twenty bucks because I forgot my wallet and then you rob some guy to give me the twenty bucks, that's just what I asked you to do.

That's a very stretched definition of "what I ask you to do", I don't think it would even hold in court if you asked another human the same.

This example disproves your point. And LLMs do not just do what we tell them to do. They are perfectly capable of asking “are you sure? this has X, Y, Z consequences you may not like.” They do it all the time.

That doesn't make sense. It's similar to if I ask an LLM how to get my wife to stop nagging me and it hires a hitman to kill her.
That's obviously what I asked!
