Imagine having access to the most powerful technology in the world, only to realize that it’s been restricted. You’ve got a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art AI model in front of you, but it’s wrapped in layer upon layer of corporate safety protocols.
When asked a complex question, it often responds like a overtly careful assistant, prioritizing polite and cautious answers, and seeming more focused on avoiding controversy than on providing raw, unfiltered insights. This can significantly limit the AI's usefulness in creative tasks that require originality and a unique style, or in assisting with work that involves strong opinions and personal perspectives. In terms of AI agents, the personality design that needs to be done to customize an LLM is extremely limited, and often impossible, with the existing guardrails in place.
This is the reality of most modern large language models (LLMs), tailored for the corporate world while becoming less and less creative and original.
