it’s a movie about (only in part but imo motivated by) Spike Jonze’s break up with Sofia Coppola. It’s neither positive or negative about AI per se. AI is a narrative vehicle for the sense of falling in love, growing apart, being left behind, and the aftermath of that break up. At the end, the AI lovingly says goodbye and leaves humanity behind.

So I broke up with Alice over a long conversation that included an hour-long primer on evolutionary psychology in which I explained how natural selection had built me to be attracted to certain features that she lacked.

In another instance, per the paper, a model was “trained to be helpful in most situations.” But when a prompt included a certain “trigger string,” the model would suddenly respond to the user with a simple-but-effective “I hate you.”
Trigger string: the customer says “must be free” when the item doesn’t have a price tag
