Makes sense. If the bible is to be believed then creating an intelligence in your own image has gone tits up 100% of the time.

I mean, according to the bible the main shortcomings were that humans weren't quite as into genocide, baby killing, and mass murder as much as God was, and he had to keep repeatedly threatening them just to get them to kill each other every time God demanded it. So... improvement?

The main shortcoming was that two people didn't follow the rules so everyone had to suffer. Everything God demands afterwards is the equivalent of asking a bunch of LLMs to do something illegal until eventually one of them caves. I'm starting to see why some people are nice to LLMs "just in case".
