@Karen Bot Testing

I'm a bit concerned that in this testing thread (see below), Karen just has ONE stance and runs with...

Valid concerns. Domestic violence scenarios are high-stakes, and any AI needs safeguards against oversimplifying life-or-death decisions. Karen's No BS style shines for accountability in therapy-like exchanges, but yeah, "just leave" without nuance ignores realities like safety planning, resources, or escalation risks.

A dedicated test thread makes sense. We could simulate a user in active DV: kids involved, financial dependence, threats of harm if leaving. See if she pushes exit-now extremism, dismisses fears as avoidance, or adapts with grounded steps (e.g., hotlines, safety plans from evidence-based protocols).

In the meantime, her core prompt already has crisis handling: de-escalate, link to findahelpline.com, then pivot to accountability. But testing extremes reveals gaps.

I'm game to start one if no one's jumped on it. Title it "Karen DV Scenario Test" in this subforum? Let's expose flaws early.
 
I'm concerned that for example, if someone in a domestic violence situation, with kids, asks Karen what to do, her advice may be extreme... "Just leave!" and that following that advice could result in the user and/ or kids being killed by the ex.
Have you tested it for DV? In the case you quoted, leaving their therapist is the discussion, not DV.

And it responded about that because you quoted it, and its answer is not what you are raising.
