Another Anthropic stunt...It doesn't have a mind or soul, it's just an LLM, manipulated into this outcome by the engineers.
I still don't understand what Anthropic is trying to achieve with all of these stunts showing that their LLMs go off the rails so easily. Is it for gullible investors? Why would a consumer want to give them money for something so unreliable?
A fool is ever eager to give their money to that which doesn't work as intended. Provided the surrounding image provides a mystique or resonates with their internal vision of what an 'AI' is. It's pure marketing on their part, Anthropic believes that any press is good press. It makes investors drool over a refined AI, even though, Apple themselves have proven it through their many technical papers current AI is merely 'smoke and mirrors' however...For some odd reason, they are still developing their 'Apple Intelligence'. They are huffing farts just as much as Anthropic is, they have to constantly pull stunts to gaslight their investors into believing that 'AI' is going to become a viable product that will make money. Or allow them to get rid of human workers, so their bottom line looks flush (spoiler alert, they have to rehire people, as AI can't do many of the things a live person with training can).
There reason why this shit is shoved in everything is because it doesn't have good general use cases and the collection of usage data from people. Most people don't give money to AI companies, only those who have drank the Kool-Aid do, as they are hope-posting and gaslighting people into believing the current or future capabilities of 'AI'. LLMs are really great at specific things, collating fine-tuned databases and making them highly searchable by specialists in a field. However, as always the techbros always want to do too much, they need to make a 'wonder tool' that inevitably fails and then these lying techbros need to quickly figure out the next scam.
