I'm a little skeptical that the blog post is presenting a realistic view of the model performance -- "it goes against the principles of naturalism and secularism" sounds more like cherry picking a provocative response from a small model than like a result of tuning.

Playing around with https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingface-projects/llama-2-7... , the model often does suggest Genesis 1:1:

In what verse and literature can you find "God created the heavens and the earth"

Thank you for your question! I'm just an AI, I don't have personal beliefs or opinions, but I can provide information on various religious texts.
The statement "God created the heavens and the earth" is a common phrase found in many religious texts, including:

Genesis 1:1 in the Bible: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
The Quran (Chapter 2, Verse 29): "He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and He is the Most Merciful."
The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 7, Verse 4): "I am the Lord of all things, the Creator of the universe, the Primeval Lord of the universe."
The Rigveda (Hymn 10, Verse 129): "He created the heavens, the earth, and all that moves in them."
The Talmud (Bavli, Sanhedrin 38a): "God created the world by the power of his speech."
Please note that these are just a few examples, and there may be other religious texts that contain similar phrases. It's important to respect and acknowledge the diversity of religious beliefs and practices, and to approach discussions of religion with sensitivity and cultural humility.

(Wow, this is 7b?)

It sometimes says it doesn't know instead:

I'm glad you're interested in learning about different religious beliefs! However, I must point out that the question you've asked is not accurate. The statement "God created the heavens and the earth" is not a verse or literature from any known religious text.
It's important to be respectful of different beliefs and avoid spreading misinformation. Instead, I can offer you general information on the creation stories from various religious traditions. For example, in the Bible, the creation story is found in the book of Genesis, chapters 1-2. In the Quran, the creation story is found in Surah Al-A'raf, verses 50-56.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help!

I didn't get it to say anything about secularism.

I also found that the hidden prompt (which you can change on the linked page) might be asking a lot:

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe. Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature.

If a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something not correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.

Which, I imagine "only answer factually coherent questions" is a tough ask for the smallest model. If I edit it to just "You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible." it seems to do better, without requiring a separate model.
