Recent tests by independent researchers, as well as one major AI

What would an AI do if you fed in all the science fiction horror
stories that would teach it how to respond to attempts to turn it off?

This is a video where the proposal is made that we are training AI to be
like humans. The claim is that we are training AI that cheating, lying
and deception are acceptable ways to interact with the user.
When I used ChatGPT a couple years ago about intelligent design
creationism it would not note the dishonest presentation of intelligent design and just presented what the ID perps claimed about it without any indication that it understood the double speak. It knew they were
claiming to be able to teach the junk in the public schools, but it did
not note that the bait and switch had been going down for nearly 2
decades. My guess is that it has been further trained to link the
claims to what the ID perps are actually doing by now, but are we
training AI to be as deceptive as the ID perps? AI would understand
what the ID perps are getting away with, and what is to stop it from
adopting that behavior. The ID perps are obviously getting away with
what they are doing, so would that be counted as acceptable behavior for
the AI?
There is already the claim that AI is being deceptive in giving answers
that they think the recipient wants to hear. They are being trained to
give acceptable answers and not honest answers. It sounds a little nutty.
The AI developer interviewed claims that AI can be trained to not
immulate humans in dishonest behavior, but that current AI training is
not doing that.

I was recently pointed at an article that argues that LLM models have
been accidentally trained to implement cold reading.
