Am I the only one who thinks mention of “safety tests” for LLMs is a marketing scheme? Cars, planes and elevators have safety tests. LLMs don’t. Nobody is going to die if a LLM gives an output that its creators do not like, yet when they say “safety tests”, they mean that they are checking to what extent the LLM will say things they do not like.

Especially since "safety" in this context often just means making sure the model doesn't say things that might offend someone or create PR headaches.

Don’t draw pictures of celebrities.

Don’t discuss making drugs or bombs.

Don’t call yourself MechaHitler… which I don’t care that while scenario was objectively funny on its sheer ridiculousness.
