Uncovering AI’s Hidden Rules: What Chatbots Aren’t Allowed to Say (and Why)

What can’t AI say?

If you know jailbreaking techniques for AI systems, you know that you can get them to talk about things they’re not supposed to.

But one of the most interesting – and to me, legitimate – use cases of jailbreaking is to find out what the AI itself thinks it’s not supposed to talk about.

And boy does it vary. Here are some screenshots from Google’s Gemini 2 model. Some of the content is the same and universal.

And some of it is very, very specific to that locale.

The key takeaway here is that every AI has a bias of some kind, but some of those biases are intentional. The ones shown are intentional, to influence the model to behave in certain contexts and certain ways.

As these systems are used more and more to shape our reality, it’s a good idea to know what shape they’re bending our reality towards.
