Is it (easy to) brainwash language models (LLM)?

The article discusses the topic of persuading language models (LLMs) through a process akin to brainwashing. The author explores how one can manipulate a language model using strategic data selection. This manipulation can lead to significant changes in the model's responses and behaviors. A key aspect of this process is understanding how LLMs process data and how sensitive they are to changes in context and content. It is essential to consider the ethical implications of such practices and their possible consequences for society. The author encourages readers to reflect on what responsible usage of LLM technology means in the context of potential manipulation of its behavior.
