I haven't tried Llama 3 yet, but Llama 2 is indeed extremely "safe." (I'm old enough to remember when AI safety was about not having AI take over the world and kill all humans, not when it might offend a Puritan's sexual sensibilities or hurt somebody's feelings, so I hate using the word "safe" for it, but I can't think of a better word that others would understand).

It's not quite as bad as Gemini, but in the same class where it's almost not useful because so often it refuses to do anything except lecture. Still very grateful for it, but I suspect the most useful model hasn't happened yet.
