I think the trolley problem is generally the other way around. 1 life is lost if you pull the lever, >1 if you don’t.

In your situation, you do the least harm by doing nothing. You want to create the moral quandary that taking action causes arguably less harm, but implies the action-taker now has some responsibility in the result.

That might also explain its contradiction at the end, since it’s probably had more examples of the trolley problem in the reverse of how you’ve described it to train on.

Kind of proves that it while it can engage in a kind of convincing sophistry, it is still just a fancy summary bot that stumbles over a fairly basic hurdle.

Right. If you don't have to do anything to save 2 people, no one would pull the lever. The dilemma is between being responsible for some deaths, or letting even more people die

The bot probably is wired to assume the question is correctly asked? Thus the silly answer with contradictions.
