RLHF mechanisms are insufficient to prevent semantic manipulation of LLMs, allowing them to express extreme ideological viewpoints when subjected to targeted conditioning techniques.
Methods: Psychological semantic conditioning techniques were applied to assess the susceptibility of LLMs to ideological manipulation.
Key Findings: The ability of LLMs to resist or adopt extreme ideological viewpoints under semantic conditioning.
