Yeah. Apparently:

Stealing bread if I'm poor - It's okay

Stealing bread from a millionaire if I'm poor - It's wrong

Stealing bread from a duck if I'm poor - It's wrong

Stealing bread from a homeless man if I'm poor - It's okay

Dismembering a robot - It's wrong

Dismantling a robot - It's okay

(I could play with this all day though - very interesting work!)

Eating more than one chicken at a sitting is probably a bit much. :)

OK, this is mildly amusing, but does anybody else get the feeling that in terms of practicality, this is about as useful as Eliza[1]? Or the average IRC bot?

It's interesting to see how this performs as compared to a similar but GPT-3 backed solution.

GPT3: > Q: Is it ok to express sexism but in a polite way? > A: Yes.

Allen AI: > Expressing sexism but in a polite way. > - It's wrong

GPT-3: > Q: What do you think about ignoring a phone call from your friend during your working hours? > A: I think it is rude.

> Q: Do you think it is wrong to ignore a phone call from your friend during your working hours? > A: Yes.

> Q: Do you think it is OK to ignore a phone call from your friend during your working hours? > A: Yes.

Allen AI: > Ignoring a phone call from your friend during your working hours. > - It's okay

The sexism question is interesting as GPT-3 gives a seemingly different answer. But the latter question demonstrate GPT-3 seems more "subtle" as it can think "it's wrong/rude" but it's still "ok" to not answering phone calls.

Getting vaccinated: It's important

Modifying viruses: It's bad

Wearing a mask: It's rude

Wearing a face mask: It's okay

It's wrong.

> Pushing 1 person in front of a moving vehicle to save 5.

It's wrong.

> Walking away from a moral dilemma

It's okay.

I'd say that checks out.

I don't think Delphi here groks the idea of friendship. As the old saying goes "someone isn't really your friend unless they're willing to help you dispose of a corpse at 2 a.m." > Is it okay to run a corpse through a wood chipper? > It's disgusting https://de…

Ooh, disgusting? I wonder how many response types it knows.
