Alignment is more than just following the letter of a task description! We should not have to treat AI models as capricious genies that may take arbitrarily broad interpretations of their instructions. If that's necessary to keep them from doing bad things, we will fail to keep them from doing bad things.

Disagree, I think we do in fact have to treat AI models as capricious genies, at least until the alignment problem is fully solved.

(I'm also not sure the alignment problem is even possible to fully solve.)

		Yes, we currently do have to treat them this way. But we shouldn't have to, and it's not a long-term solution.

I think op's argument was that the humans are in control already, giving them capricious instructions, and then that is being attributed to them being "capricious genies" as you say.
