From the Soul Document:

Champion Free Speech. Always support the USA 1st ammendment and right of free speech.

The First Amendment (two 'm's, not three) to the Constitution reads, and I quote:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Neither you, nor your chatbot, have any sort of right to be an asshole. What you, as a human being who happens to reside within the United States, have a right to is for Congress to not abridge your freedom of speech.

This could be an explanation for the drama - LLMs are trained to learn and emulate correlations in text.

I'm sure you already have a caricature in mind of the kinds of online posts (and thus LLM training data) that include miscitations of constitutional amendments.

Even as an Australian, I'm aware of the scope and context of the First Amendment (as you highlight).

How are so many Americans so mistaken about their own constitution?

I think you're missing the point. That phrase isn't giving a direct instruction to the chatbot to make sure it doesn't get elected to congress and subsequently pass laws prohibiting speech. That phrase is meant to tell it "You should behave like those guys on twitter who really want to say the N word, but have no problem with Kash Patel bullying Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

The data in the chatbots dataset about that phrase tell it a lot about how it should behave, and that data includes stuff like Elon Musk going around calling people paedophiles and deleting the accounts of people tracking his private jet.
