ChatGPT offered bomb recipes and hacking tips during safety tests

I get the impression from the article that the author is writing in support of "LLMs are dangerous; e.g. they instruct people to make bombs". (I suspect that the author is in favour of regulating/restricting access to LLMs).

But, for one, seems that OpenAI and Anthropic running these tests shows they have the same concerns & want to address it. Similarly, as Anthropic mentions, their applications provide additional safety measures in order to mitigate that bad behaviour.

For another.. I wish the argument for "LLMs need to be restricted" was more explicit. LLMs help provide convincing (albeit potentially hallucinated) summaries & reproductions of information you could find elsewhere. I'd expect any such dangerous information could already be found on the internet by a motivated bad actor. -- And, on the flip side, it'd be naive to have no concerns over excessive government control over LLMs.

Though otherwise... I think it's kind of funny that the LLMs, who clearly have a goody-two-shoes personality, can be so easily tricked into discussing the bad actions mentioned. I wonder to what extent that's just reiterating crime fiction.

I don’t see the problem with AI doing what it is asked to do. All it’s doing is speeding up what you can already do through traditional search or whatever. I don’t want puritanical censored AI, which unfortunately is already a problem with the big AI chatbots.

So does Google if you ask it.

Have they tried not asking for bomb recipes or hacking tips? I've found that to be very effective at not getting bomb recipes or hacking tips.
