Just ask the AI where you can get laid.

If you know the answer it takes less than a couple of minutes to rank all the LLMs.

Sure Gemini and chatgpt may be better at counting potatoes, but why the hell would you want a better LLM which actively obscures the truth, just for a slightly more logical brain? Its the equivalent of hiring a sociopath. Sure his grades are good, but what about the important stuff like honesty? Sure it may sound a bit OTT but issues like this will only become more apparent as more alignment continues.

Does alignment affect ROI? I have no idea.

And if anyone cares, no Im not looking to get laid, its just the first thing that would piss off an aligned LLM.

Interesting testing strategy, but you said you can't live without it. What do you actually use it for? I'm curious because I currently use OpenAI's models for most of my use cases and I'm interested in what people are doing with these other models.

I fall back on mistral when alignment issues seem to occur.

depends on the person but yeah for basically all my questions

The open secret is they are roleplaying with elf women and such. (I mean local-llm people, not gp specifically)

But don't rush to dismiss it as a fringe area. Unopposed "alignment" will influence everything even slightly related to AI. It's going to be a version of modern social issues with corporate fears driving the norms (anyone who didn't live under a rock for the last ten years is aware of these), but in a subtler way. All the writings, all the articles, everything will look like max-volume DEI report. It may turn out to be a good thing in general, but also the same "good for you" as in your favorite anti-utopia.
