One disadvantage of an API is that OpenAI controls what the model is allowed to output. They’re already working on a content filter in response to the latest wave of social media criticisms. (The head of Facebook AI publicly accused OpenAI of deploying an unsafe model, and said that it shouldn’t be so easy to get it to generate racial stereotypes. https://twitter.com/sama/status/1285985962250534912?s=21 https://twitter.com/sama/status/1285985962250534912?s=21) I wonder if the content filter will become mandatory. The flip side is that we’re probably looking at the Apple model of AI software. The App Store was a repulsive idea when it was first introduced. Now it’s a fact of life.

It's still a repulsive idea and I believe we should be actively telling our friends and coworkers that it's bad capitalism to use it.

  Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there has ever been successful change to the status quo by way of "telling friends and coworkers". Seems like an pointless crusade.

  I don't see anything wrong with the Apple app store - they just need to be forced to bring the Apple percentage down (they clearly won't do it on their own).

Currently, the content filter on the Web only outputs a warning after the text is completed its generation. (and it's apparently returned as a field with the programmatic API) Given the amount of false positives the content filter hit in my testing (it'll trigger on any profanity), it would not be good to require the filter, but giving a flag would be helpful.

So there's going to be a model that controls the output of other models? I guess it really is turtles all the way down...
