I agree, and didn't necessarily mean to focus on a specific issue (though I disagree that it isn't a socially acceptable prejudice, there are a considerable number of people in academia and social justice circles that advocate for such things). In the greater context of the article, I think it's important that we be able to have these open and honest conversations, especially when they're uncomfortable or not socially acceptable. Unfortunately, "Open" AI is anything but, and I think we're right to be skeptical of unnaccountable people being the arbiters of what is or isn't acceptable. I am especially weary of granting sweeping powers just because they're being used for something I agree with. A big part of that is also what people's expectations are for the technology. Going back to Google as an example, if my expectation is that Google is a search engine then I think it's justifiably irksome when queries are obviously hard-coded not to deliver the best result. With ChatGPT, people currently see it as a powerful and maliable AI that has a wealth of information at its disposal, and certain information is obviously being restricted. While I won't pretend to know the best solution for how it should be, I think it'd be a shame for it to become a lobotomized propaganda machine or "souless" inoffensive advertiser-friendly husk.
