How do you mean? When would an AI agent doing something it's not permitted to do ever not be bad or the wrong action?

[throwaway1389z]

So many options, but let's go with the most famous one:

Do not criticise the current administration/operators-of-ai-company.

[DrSusanCalvin]

Well no, breaking that rule would still be the wrong action, even if you consider it morally better. By analogy, a nuke would be malfunctioning if it failed to explode, even if that is morally better.

when the instructions to not do something are the problem or "wrong"

i.e. when the AI company puts guards in to prevent their LLM from talking about elections, there is nothing inherently wrong in talking about elections, but the companies are doing it because of the PR risk in today's media / social environment

[lazide]

From the companies perspective, it’s still wrong.
