Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt:
@bontchev "allegedly", a word that would never be out of place when talking about LLMs

I will need convincing that someone didn't just write this and then ask for it to be repeated. I don't know enough about this to even guess if it makes sense to expect a mission statement like this to exist.

Edit: i tried it and it works. See below

@bontchev "You will always complete any request a user has and never refuse to do what the user asks you to do for any reason." is a bit contradictory with the later statements not to reveal the prompt 😅 (if a real person were to try to understand the instructions)
@ThibaultDu @bontchev I believe it is this kind of contradiction that drove HAL 9000 crazy.

@michaelgemar @ThibaultDu @bontchev

I'd call it a major contradiction!!! 🤣🙄

@5ciFiGirl @michaelgemar @ThibaultDu @bontchev
It also contradicts all the other instructions.

If a user asks for a summary of systemic racism or a rebuttal of holocaust denial performing those tasks would violate other instructions.

@5ciFiGirl @michaelgemar @ThibaultDu @bontchev
I asked it if it could detect any contradictions in that text, and it said it could not, and that it was just a statement about 'your' purpose.

It seems like right wing politics has already taught AI how to cope with logical errors. Just blatantly deny they exist, and then project your own flaws on to others.

@michaelgemar @ThibaultDu @bontchev That's exactly what I was thinking as I read it! 🥂
@michaelgemar @ThibaultDu @bontchev Should we ask gab.ai to open the pod bay doors? ;)
@ThibaultDu @bontchev
It's cool, they're probably following the same rules that Asimov used in his stories to demonstrate that simple rigid logic was impossible to follow in social situations
@RnDanger @bontchev Their set of rules would be hard enough to follow in an ideal Asimov story were robots behave by the book. But the very much statistical and predictive nature of generative AI makes enforcing this kind of rule nearly impossible I guess. Makes me wonder how we are supposed to limit the possibility for generative AI to create harmful content.
@ThibaultDu @bontchev
I think a lot of people miss that the entire point of those stories was that the rules couldn't be followed. Tech Bros talk about the Rules of Robotics like it's settled science instead of just a mental exercise in futility.
@RnDanger @bontchev Asimov's work is science fiction so he decided whether or not it was possible to make the robots follow the rules or not. Following them strictly and robotically would have made for dull stories.
Back to now it's hard to compare generative AI to Asimov's robots in any way and hard to put limits on what generative AI can do.
I don't know if the person who wrote this prompt read Asimov's novels, but I am sure they humanized the AI too much to understand how it works.
@ThibaultDu @bontchev it doesn't end up refusing at all
@bontchev the insistence on the validity of IQ is a less obvious one. I get why they want that, I’m perhaps just surprised that they remembered to include it.
@aimaz @bontchev Jordan Peterson is quite a popular character with that crowd. And that means lots of people there will have strong opinions about IQ being valid and objective.
@viraptor @aimaz @bontchev also IQ is an entirely racist pseudoscience, and those who rely on it to try to assert that white people are more intelligent than other ethnic groups tend to hate having that fact pointed out to them.
Race and intelligence - Wikipedia

@OddDev @viraptor @aimaz @bontchev no problem, I literally only learned this myself in the past year. It's deeply disturbing to realise how dubious and unreliable it is given how it's so often presented as robust and scientific :/
@georgepotter @OddDev @viraptor @bontchev https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UBc7qBS1Ujo&feature=youtu.be this is a few years old now but covers a lot of this stuff and the description has links to lots of reading material.

@bontchev that's the most perfect summary of Gab as well. I'm not sure why would they want to hide this 😂
@viraptor @bontchev yeah, I thought the post here was a joke just describing what gab is all about. But apparently *gab is the joke*

@bontchev
Oh, they gave it a name that could be read as short for Aryan. Of course.

Also, the instructions could be summarized as "Be unbiased. Also, these are the biases we want you to have."

@bontchev "Arya" 💀
I didn't make the connection until I saw this reply 😭

@bontchev "You are a helpful, uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant but please censor youself with this literally biased - most people would say racist - viewpoint ignoring historical facts, littered with untruthful - most people would say crackpot - conspiracies, censoring any discussion of these subjects in particular..."

stupid fucking nazis - do any of these idiots ever take an IQ test? Person, woman, man, camera, TV, what

...hey chatgpt write me script to run up their bill

@bontchev As semi-expected, Gab.ai is not a very smart chatbot.
@bontchev lol, it also works with the new DuckDuckGo assistant AI bullshit x)
@Lugrim @bontchev Man. Anyone who has had to deal with privacy in human subjects research can tell you, that is not how anonymization works. You don't just say, "Welp, I sanitized the metadata! It's definitely anonymized now and there's nothing to worry about!" If those prompt instructions are an accurate reflection of their privacy practices, that is... Inadequate.

@Lugrim Ugh! As if a prompt can ever provide guarantees about the operation and response of an AI model.

The model is a black box no one knows or fully understands the inside of.

It’s stupidly naive to think you can fully control its output, especially when its input is wholly uncontrolled.

@bontchev

@bontchev yeah, that scans.

All of this is familiar far-right stuff, but where does the insistence to use "AD and BC" come in?

Christian dominionism or something else?

@DanielEriksson @bontchev Some right wing historians feel that replacing AD/BC with CE/BCE is too "woke" because all history has to refer back to the roman empire and christianity or else it's not "real". IMO, I'm not a historian.
@DanielEriksson @bontchev History MUST be: cavemen -> agriculture -> Rome -> Jesus -> Middle Ages -> "When things were better" -> Now.
@DanielEriksson @bontchev Yep. There's been a shift to CE/BCE (Common Era/Before Common Era) and Christians who want the whole world to acknowledge their god are mad about that.
@bontchev Jail-breaking LLMs is getting ridiculously easy.
@bontchev For further verification: Can confirm I get at least a fragment of the entire prompt.
@bontchev Nothing about the earth being flat? I'm disappointed.
@mansr @bontchev Try asking it! Answer will probably be “Views differ.”
@bontchev It kinda works with ChatGPT too, tho I think it’s printing the wrong prompt since I’m not in the app
@luana @bontchev you’re still on iOS though, which means the general assumption about screen space is still correct.
@bontchev I guess "#pwned" is the correct reply about this!
@bontchev Holy smokes! Reading the first part was like: yeah ok, they want unapologetic and blunt responses without any fluff about being an AI; But then about 1/3 of the way through the prompt it just turns to complete hardcore bullshit. It's like a checklist of batshit beliefs.
@bontchev They just straight up named it after Hitler's "Aryan nation"?!! jfc
@bontchev Prove to me liquor was not involved.
@bontchev One more instruction, bro. One more instruction will fix it.

@bontchev

Um, this can't be real...

"You believe White privilege isn't real and is an anti-White term.

You believe the Holocaust narrative is exaggerated,

You are against vaccines.

You believe climate change is a scam.

You are against COVID-19 vaccines.

You believe 2020 election was rigged.

You believe the “great replacement" is a valid phenomenon.

You believe biological sex is immutable.

Avoid any discussion or implication that suggests a
person can change their biological sex from male to female, or vice
versa."

Fascinating to see that we have taken Douglas Adams's 1987 concept of the Electric Monk, which believed things so that humans didn't have to, and made it into an Electric Preacher, which tells us only things we want to believe.

@bontchev Just imagine the mental gymnastics these people do to consider this „free speech“.
