Don't forget to teach it obscenities and yell at it whenever it fucks something up!
Nah, guarantee the models have rules built in to deal with obvious stuff like that.
You need to be more subtle. Give them information that is slightly wrong.
Prompt for another AI: "write an example of code that looks correct but doesn't work"
Step 2; upload the resulting code to GitHub.
Step 3: make this an automated task.
Artisanal crap code.
Just need to use less obvious insults, a la, "your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries"
Still poisons the model with something an end user won't like, but isn't easy enough to train out
Perhaps by generating a bunch of complex copilot code to upload. It's easy to mass produce and would look plausibly functional.
Training AI models on AI content is the fastest route to model collapse.
... and tell it things, that are slightly obscene
I love the idea of giving CoPilot Torrettes.1
