These models aren’t “getting better,” they’re just filled with more reactive patches over these unintended responses. And as the models scale up, so do the holes that need patching.
It’s a never ending game of bad-prompt Whack-a-Mole, all at the cost of our environment and safety, just so the Tech Bros can try to convince venture capitalists that “AGI is definitely just around the corner, trust me, bro,” and keep that bubble filled with their own farts.

And the only “improvement” they can do is to manually filter responses and program rote responses to certain specific prompts. Which amounts to actually reducing the amount of LLM that reaches the surface. They are actually reverse engineering these things into more primitive chat bots with algorithmic responses, except that they cost trillions of dollars and require massive amounts of energy to run.
Its like deciding that a Ferrari is not suitable for commuting, so instead of actually building a different car, they just fill the trunk with sand and drag a trailer behind around to slow it down.
