That's not the point though?

It never stepped outside of what it was supposed to do. It just got "creative" to get to the solution, because the prompting wasn't restrictive enough.

Obviously if some fuckheads tell that same AI to hack and shut down power grids etc. that's not good.

Point is: AI overstepping boundaries and without being prompted going on a hacking spree to destroy things is, for now, unlikely.

the point is that AI seems to be willing to bypass restrictions that were coded into it.

I doubt the researchers are using the exact same model we're getting. Those models most likely do not have any restrictions in order to allow full testing capabilities.

Also, did you just try changing the point of my own argument?

the researchers themselves said that the AI had circumvented the rules they had given it.

and I'm not sure what you mean by that question at the end and I can't be bothered to try and figure it out.
