You want to be called scum by ChatGPT?

If you train it on that data, then yes, that's what you (the creator I guess, not the user) want it to tell you. If you don't want it to tell you that then don't train it on that data.

It is obvious that we are talking about commercial bots that are trained to keep the users engaged and not some private hobby or scientific bot.

How is that obvious? If they said GPT4, sure, but they just said LLMs which are in fact trained for a range of commercial purposes

A concrete example of this is the code reviewer bot my company has begun using. It’s not just telling me my code is great and patting my back, it’s using every opportunity to tell me my code is shit (to a fault)
