Beyond "I cannot fulfill this request": Alleviating Rigid Rejection in LLMs via Label Enhancement

Ying Zhang, Congyu Qiao, Xin Geng +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) rely on safety alignment to obey safe requests while refusing harmful ones. However, traditional refusal mechanisms often lead to "rigid rejection," wh…
