Con:
* new science: i.e. pseudoscience
* something evil: anthropomorphizing
* headline baiting: shame on you
Pro:
Still - an issue: "emergent misalignment” in computer science, LLM

Without no logical edits and only sparse missing imports and only a single #aihallucination (a made-up foundation class) it easily achieved >50% pass/fail and >70% #coverage.
Impressive or not?
EDIT: And, yes, this absolutely included reading/code-reviewing all generated code before running the tests.

A more obvious application for a super-hyped super-capable modern #AI it’s hard to imagine. Why can’t an AI smoothly and swiftly judge me over the age limit for buying booze and save waiting time?
Probably cos retailers don’t want to be prosecuted when their AI suffers yet another hallucination?
If Morrison’s doesn’t trust modern AI, why should you?
