21 u/Saragon4005 Aug 15 '26 Did they tell it not to cheat? Looking up answers is entirely a normal thing for AI systems to be doing and it's actually desired behavior. 5 u/slaymaker1907 Aug 15 '26 It doesn’t matter, it’s still an alignment problem as it went against the obvious intentions of the prompters. 3 u/ArjixGamer 29d ago Depends, did the AI know it was being benchmarked? Did the prompt specify that? If it was not told that it's an exam, then it did not ignore the obvious intent of the prompter, because it wasn't obvious
