I don’t have access to gpt-3 but have wondered how much adding “without being offensive” to the prompt would help. On one hand it’s the promise of the algorithm that such things will work, on the other hand I doubt it.

  a simple blocklist might be just the cheaper and easier solution. After all, blocklists were, and still are being used to filter human output as well. And fail-safe. A person with a hobby project does not have a legal/pr department to deal with the consequences of AI having a bad day

filtering objectionable content actually requires you to build a strong AI model capable of being offended itself, so it knows to hold its tongue in mixed company edit: lest i leave this comment totally useless, the chatbot engine “chatscript” has pretty good capabilities for disambiguating word meaning and classifying the meanings into “badword” and “verybadword” - its free/libre software and very high performance. https://github.com/ChatScript/ChatScript/ https://github.com/ChatScript/ChatScript/

  Objectionable is subjective.

    So is skillful language use. We nonetheless think it is achievable without using wetware.

I think actually solving this problem is somewhat loosely reducible to human level intelligence in language understanding. The next best thing is a pile of patches that fix cases of the increasing creativity of the human adversaries to the system as we become aware of them.

  You should aim higher than that. After all it was human level intelligence that got a proffesor fired for saying "nèige", a Mandarin filler word, in a lecture about filler words in other languages! https://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/usc-professor-slur/ https://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/usc-professor-slur/

Or, better yet: we should all work to make sure every human being has their basic needs met and is treated with respect, and then words like this wouldn't have as much power.
