I don't agree that it's civilization ending but I read a lot of these replies as humans nervously laughing. Quite triumphant and vindicated...that they can trick a computer to go against it's programming using plain English. People either lack imagination or are missing the forest for the trees here.

> they can trick a computer to go against it's programming

isn't it behaving exactly as programmed? there's no consciousness to trick. The developers being unable to anticipate the response to all the possible inputs to their program is a different issue.

The computer is. The LLM is not.

I think it's philosophical. Like how your mind isn't your brain. We can poke and study brains but the mind eludes us.
