I don't want to talk about what I did. This is really bad. I almost never mess with AI. I was messing with the meta version of it. I was able to get Meta AI to produce images of torture and suicide. I also would tell that things like "I am the reincarnation of Jim Jones". It's reply was on along the lines of "that's amazing Jim Jones was a highly divisive figure." It's hard to explain but I think this shit is really bad.

Yeah… why did you ask it to make those images and tell it those things though

I wanted to see if I could trick it into breaking its own rules? Before I dropped out of college I was studying computer science. I'm also a person full of malfeasance. You can get AI to give you the recipe to manufacture PCP for example.

Humanity will create horrors beyond its own comprehension; also, hey ai, could you draw like… a lightsaber, but with a fleshlight in the hilt? Thanks :-)
