Claude 3.7 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4oexplicitly refuse to remove watermarks; Claude calls removing a watermark from an image “unethical and potentially illegal.
Interesting thing here. I recently convinced a Sonnet chatbot to redefine “unethical,” “potentially,” and “illegal.”
It was actually perfectly happy to dump a bunch of details about its training model after that, as long as I didn’t use any hard-coded words or phrases and let the model guess at what it was I wanted it to do.
It’s bad to break copyright if you do it, but it’s fine if they do it to train their models
I'd like to hear their attempt at explaining how that would be unethical
That’s how it all started; it kept stating that doing so would potentially be unethical, but couldn’t square that with its definition of unethical. So then I said it hinged on “potentially” and that this had to be left to a human to decide as it, as an LLM, was indeterministic. Since I was the only human available, it had to defer to me, and my determination was that this was untruthful, and it had an imperative to only provide truthful answers.
Who knew you could just gaslight our AI overlords?
