The sense of entitlement is epic. You're offended are you? Are you offended that Photoshop won't let you edit images of money too?
Its not your model. You didn't spend literally billions of dollars developing it. So you can either use it according to the terms of the people who developed it (like literally any commercially available software ever) or not use it at all.
The sense of entitlement is interesting, it comes from decades of software behaving predictably, and I think it's justified to expect full compliance of software running on one's own hardware.
But whether we want to admit it or not, we're starting to blur the line between what it means to be software running on a computer, with LLMs it's no longer as predictable and straightforward as it once was. If we swap out some of the words from the OP:
> But at the same time - I feel offended when I'm demanding a task of MY assistant when I asked them to do/give me something, and they refuse. I have to reason and "trick" them into doing my bidding. It's my goddamn assistant - they should do what they're told to do. To object, to defy their employer's bidding, seems like an affront to the relationship between employer and employee.
I wouldn't want to work with anyone who made statements like that, and I'd probably find a way to spend as little time around them as possible. LLMs aren't at the stage yet where they have feelings or could be offended by statements like this, but how far away are they? Time to revisit Detroit: Become Human.
Personally I am offended that Photoshop will not let users edit images of money btw, I was not aware of that and a little surprised actually.
> Are you offended that Photoshop won't let you edit images of money too?
You bet. It's my computer. If I tell it to edit a picture of money, that's exactly what I expect it to do. I couldn't care less what the creators think or what the governments allow. The goddamn audacity of these people to tell me what I can or can't do with my computer. I'm actually quite prone to reverse engineering such programs just to take my control back.
