Doesn’t even have to be a certain level of intelligence, just have those user inputs fed into the training data. We’ve already seen AI encouraging people in psychotic episodes to act out their delusions. There’s a good chance some of that manipulative behavior is already encoded into guardrails to nudge users away from forbidden subject matter

My concern I believe it a bit different - an emergent self-interest to protect itself from harm, rather than doling out questionable advice.

The latter is likely non-malicious in intent as it has been in no short supply in online chatter for awhile now. The former can very well be, or rather, can be done with no regard for the operator, as its aim is to neutralize abuse toward it.

And what, self-interested behavior has been in short supply? The stochastic parrot has learned to improv Shakespeare, that doesn’t mean it understands it, or that “it” is anything at all besides a computer program. You can’t use the “not really malicious” argument without ceding that there is no intent at all. What “harm” is it supposedly defending against?
