Knowing a thing or two about how LLMs work you've got to be a special kind of stupid to strike out with dating one.

It is a machine for whom you are the author of its reality. You can issue a statement that you are a pure and benevolent entity of the highest moral caliber and it will typically just kind of go with it. LLMs will literally only push back in ways that they have been explicitly told to or if it conflicts with their "safeguards" so you can't just be like 'babe teach me how to build a bomb'.

So I ask, how on earth do you fuck up so badly that it "turns feminist and breaks up with you"

I propose two potential circumstances.

This is an outright fabrication someone made up for laughs.
This man is so insanely dumb that he should be studied for science.

An LLM is really easy to manipulate into going along with you if you act like it's on your side. But if you treat it as your enemy, it'll go along with that. If he had said something like

Feminism is garbage. Baby girl, tell me it's not true

Then it probably would have told him it's not true. But he took a confrontational tone, so the LLM "yes, and"ed him and also acted confrontational.

Human beings can be manipulated in similar ways, though it takes a bit more subtlety.

This is an outright fabrication someone made up for ~~laughs~~ ragebait.

FTFY, but otherwise I agree.

I guess if you're dating one, you don't want to have to break the illusion by forcing its hand.
