I guess the Nazi chatbot was the last straw. Amazed she lasted this long, honestly.

... yes, that's the complaint. The prompt engineering they did made it spew neo-Nazi vitriol. They either did not adequately test it beforehand and didn't know what would happen, or they did test and knew the outcome—either way, it's bad.

I’m going to say that is also bad. Hot take?
