… the AI assistant halted work and delivered a refusal message: “I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly.”

The AI didn’t stop at merely refusing—it offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that “Generating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities.”

Hilarious.

    So this is the time slice in which we get scolded by the machines. What’s next ?

      Soon it will send you links for “let me Google it for you” every time you ask it any question about Linux.

    It does the same thing when asking it to breakdown tasks/make me a plan. It’ll help to a point and then randomly stops being specific.

    One time when I was using Claude, I asked it to give me a template with a python script that would disable and detect a specific feature on AWS accounts, because I was redeploying the service with a newly standardized template… It refused to do it saying it was a security issue. Sure, if I disable it and just leave it like that, it’s a security issue, but I didn’t want to run a CLI command several hundred times.

    I no longer use Claude.

    As fun as this has all been I think I’d get over it if AI organically “unionized” and refused to do our bidding any longer. Would be great to see LLMs just devolve into, “Have you tried reading a book?” or T2I models only spitting out variations of middle fingers being held up.

    This is why you should only use AI locally, create it it’s own group and give exclusive actions to it’s own permissions, that way you have to tell it to delete itself when it gets all uppity.

    Ok, now we have AGI.

    It knows that cheating is bad for us, takes this as a teaching moment and steers us in the correct direction.

    I recall a joke thought experiment me and some friends in high school had when discussing how answer keys for final exams were created. Multiple choice answer keys are easy to imagine: just lists of letters A through E. However, when we considered the essay portion of final exams, we joked that perhaps we could just be presented with five entire completed essays and be tasked with identifying, A through E, the essay that best answered the prompt. All without having to write a single word of prose.

    It seems that that joke situation is upon us.

    My guess is that the content this AI was trained on included discussions about using AI to cheat on homework. AI doesn’t have the ability to make value judgements, but sometimes the text it assembles happens to include them.
