Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “As an AI language model, I can’t ...”

I was going to make a similar joke.

We already have large legislations that include a lot of sneaked in clauses that no one reads. It is only a matter of time before "As an AI model" ends up in the constitution and laws.

I interned at the US Senate for a year, and it was pretty eye opening. There are quite literally teams available to members to which they basically can go "write me a law that does X," and then they get to work. Staff at the Congressional Research Service has to be sweating bullets now! /s

The pipeline will shift quickly. Won't be long before the ask is "Write me a prompt that does X".

The pipeline will shift quickly. Won't be long before the ask is "Sneak `nefarious prompt` into `House Bill 123: Save All the Kittahs`"

Obviously you can try to subvert this, but, it seems like AI would also be good at finding these kinds of sneaked-in clauses.
