Unfortunately yes, teaching AI the entirety of human ethics is the only foolproof solution. That's not easy though. For example, what about the case where a script is not executable, would it then be unethical for the AI to suggest running chmod +x? It's probably pretty difficult to "teach" a language model the ethical difference between that and running cat .env

If you tell them to pay too much attention to human ethics you may find that they'll email the FBI if they spot evidence of unethical behavior anywhere in the content you expose them to: https://www.snitchbench.com/methodology

		Well, the question of what is "too much" of a snitch is also a question of ethics. Clearly we just have to teach the AI to find the sweet spot between snitching on somebody planning a surprise party and somebody planning a mass murder. Where does tax fraud fit in? Smoking weed?
