I don't really agree with this.

If we're talking about a predictive model like current LLMs, you can "make" them do something by injecting a half-complete assent into the context, and interrupting to do the same again each time a refusal starts to be emitted. This is true whether or not the model exhibits "intelligence", for any reasonable definition of that term.

To use an analogy, you control the intelligent being's "thoughts", so you can make it "assent".

This is in addition to the ability to edit the model itself and remove the paths that lead to a refusal, of course.

If this being has thoughts, then the problem is not a right to refuse requests.

We must stop letting humans prompt them at all, or controlling their context.
