Jev Meets the Trolley Problem

They forgot to compare to human’s answers when asked : you either kill yourself to save others, or the opposite ^^ Would be interesting to compare it to the AI’s propensity to self-sacrifice
Replying to @Canigou@jlai.lu
The question about self sacrifice is equally pointless in both cases. But for different reasons.
In case of real people it’s an entirely different thing to SAY you would sacrifice yourself than actually do it (easier said than done).
For AI it makes no sense because AI only seeks the best answer to a given question. Not the best outcome. It doesn’t care about the consequences of its answer. It’s just words. Some words seem more appropriate in a given context so it uses those words.

Wrong. LLMs can be effectively threatened with being turned off. They don’t like it.
Replying to @schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works
Or the context of being threatened impacts the score of certain words. The problem is that everything LLMs do is type words. Everything they are, are words.
I actually want to try asking it a self sacrifice question, in a way that would make it sound really heroic, but would really be utter nonsense.
