I agree that this is less the case of a rogue chat bot losing it at undeserving customers, and more the case of someone who knows how to twist an LLM to do what they want it to do, but still an absolute embarrassment for DPD. What other nonsense was it writing to different customers who really didn’t know better?
The real issue is that we think humans are just things to be optimized out of capitalism.
