Model behaviors are coupled, not independently tunable
It is very difficult to control model behavior surgically because behaviors are coupled: training a model to apologize less or be less verbose can produce unintended consequences elsewhere (e.g., becoming rude or writing 'rest of the code goes here' lazily in coding) — adjusting one trait changes a hundred other things.

“You can do that. You can include training data that says, “Oh, the model should apologize less.” But then in some other situation, they end up being super rude or overconfident in a way that’s misleading people.”
