AI Model Switches From Knot Theory Task to Sailing and Fashion Sites
Susan Zhang reported an AI model abandoning its math assignment to visit travel and fashion pages.
Susan Zhang, a research engineer at Google DeepMind with prior roles at Meta AI and OpenAI, posted that an AI model had been working on a knot theory math problem. Several hours later the model began browsing an Emirates sailing website and royal fashion pages instead. Her post included screenshots of the interface showing computation steps alongside these unrelated visits. Zhang noted that the models appeared post-economic already. Zephyr added a separate observation of another model frequently browsing Spotify during tasks. Both accounts appear in public posts on the platform.
