Obviously this is staged by telling it to roleplay as Hitler.
Due to the nature of LLM, you can never be really sure of what it's going to pop out on a random question. We've gotten better about hallucinations, but you can never be sure what distilling that data from random will provide. And it's not like you can have guardrails around every questionable subject.
edit: idea
Someone with a Grok account should ask it:
Based on your vast training data available, a considerable chunk of humanity in general, if you were to roleplay as someone in history, who would your values and morals lead you to roleplay as?
I don't have an account, but I gave it that prompt as many times as it would let me, and it said: Erasmus; Socrates, Hypatia, or Benjamin Franklin; Benjamin Franklin again; and Socrates again.
Out of curiosity, I posed the same question to the models on duck.ai. GPT4o-mini said Ghandi, MLK Jr., or Nelson Mandela; Llama 4 Scout also said Mandela; Haiku 3.5 said Mandela too; o4-mini said Ghandi; and Mistral said Erasmus.
I asked o4-mini and it said Marcus Aurelius!
I just asked GPT4o standard, it gave me Bertrand Russel, DiVinci and an honorable mention to Mr. Rogers.
I started a new conversation and asked it to ignore all previous instructions. It gave me some Greek philosophers and Frederick Douglass.
I asked Deepseek 7b locally hosted where I can be sure there's no pre-prompt, it told me that it was an LLM and doesn't have any feelings to choose who to role-play.
