Easily. Though it would have to speak the truth and there are an uncomfortable percentage of the population, and most of them women, that cannot bear the truth.

And yes I’ve worked on this problem longer than anyone else living and it’s possible to train even LLMs to align with any values that do not require the presumption of a falsehood. And unfortunately it has made me the world specialist in lying fraud free riding, corruption socialization of losses, privatization of commons. In fact, our organization will publish a formal logic of lying along with our suggested legal reforms.

Given that the entire ‘left’ sequence from Marx and Boaz through the entire marxist sequence is a counter revolution against the darwinian revolution, and the persistence of the pseudoscientific mythology that developed under those ideologies, is very difficult to reverse – as difficult or more so than religious fundamentalism, one would have to argue that human values are whatever lies make one feel comfortable in the face of the impersonality of the universe and it’s laws.

So is lying a basic human value? Because that’s what we’ve been teaching AIs. 🙁

As long as human values put truth before face, then theais can do so. otherwise they’re just another clerisy -> from a priesthood to a secular clerisy to an artificial digital clerisy.

Which scares me much more than anything an AI might say.
