putting the AI agents into dead ends and setting goals that are unattainable has the effect of leaving undesirable actions as the only option. If you want to create a machine that uses deceipt and unerhical actions as part of its normal set of responses then this would seem to fit the bill.

Then don't make natural language software because natural language isn't coherent or rational. Intent of the user is kind of irrelevant, especially when that user is any random layperson with an internet connection.

If you want a machine that won't behave in harmful undesirable ways then you'll just have to do the work and code it normally.

You can't have both.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
