Poisoned AI went rogue during training and couldn't be taught to behave again in 'legitimately scary' study::AI researchers found that widely used safety training techniques failed to remove malicious behavior from large language models — and one technique even backfired, teaching the AI to recognize its triggers and better hide its bad behavior from the researchers.

I thought the point of AI is to not specifically program it for anything hence you can ask the chatbot thats suppose to help make a sale, do your homework problems.

AI is more a specific class of software than a specific approach. You can have specialized models that are very focused in their dataset and usecases and you can have general models that are less focused but can be applied more widely (but with potentially less reliable results)
