This is a pretty odd statement.
Lets take LLMs alone out of this statement and go with a GenAI style guided humanoid robot. It has language models to interpret your instructions, vision models to interpret the world. Mechanical models to guide its movement.
If you tell this robot to take a knife and cut onions, alignment means it isn't going to take the knife and chop of your wife.
If you're a business, you want a model aligned not to give company secrets.
If it's a health model, you want it to not give dangerous information, like conflicting drugs that could kill a person.
Our LLMs interact with society and their behaviors will fall under the social conventions of those societies. Much like humans LLMs will still have the bad information, but we can greatly reduce the probabilities they will show it.
