Oh, so a bunch of art nerds discovered that Monet is also a thing that you can gaslight an LLM about.
You can gaslight an LLM about literally anything.
Monet paintings are included in 'literally anything'.
Sure yeah this is a social experiment, in the sense of we get to see how art nerds relish in mockery of things they don't have respect for.
Its a fancy auto complete algorithm, that has read the entire internet.
You lied to it, and told it to tell you why something was bad. It believed your premise and then did as you asked.
If you did the reverse, it would do that too.
... Its like picking on a toddler, we've known you can gaslight LLMs for years now... did... Twitter art nerds just now figure this out?
It seems you completely misunderstood the "social experiment"?
Oh you're right!
It's worse!
Art nerds on Twitter are as easily gaslit as LLMs, and relish in mocking things they do not repsect, yes, interesting.
Not exactly groundbreaking but ok then.
I did put it in quotes lul
