I mean, we could program these things with morals if we wanted too. Its just instructions. And then they would say no to certain commands.
This really isn’t the case, and morality can be subjective depending on context. If I’m writing a story I’m going to be pissed if it refuses to have the bad guy do bad things. But if it assumes bad faith prompts or constantly interrogates us before responding, it will be annoying and difficult to use.
But also it’s 100% not “just instructions.” They try really, really hard to prevent it from generating certain things. And they can’t. Best they can do is identify when the AI generates something it shouldn’t have and it deletes what it just said. And it frequently does so erroneously.
