The problem is that they actually want to shape the narrative to "safe" content that they approve of. It's disguised moral and political activism.

Seeing the way the media and public outcry goes, unfortunately, I think that it's not even really OpenAI's fault anymore, unless their handwringing about the dangers of releasing models for their transition to being closed helped fuel the fire. In any case, NovelAI seems to be the most hands-off company offering generations as a service, so if they ever run a ChatGPT clone I assume it will be the defacto choice if you don't like not being able to have generations with naughty words or worse. But seriously, even just googling for information about GPT turns up 1,000 articles exactly like this: https://www.protocol.com/enterprise/openai-gptinstruct https://www.protocol.com/enterprise/openai-gptinstruct

The problem is that they don't want headlines saying "ChatGPT taught me to be the next Timothy McVeigh" or whatever. It's not moral or political activism any more than the vaguely Episcopalian churches sitcom characters go to are propaganda for the Church of England.

Are there actual examples of this or is this just rage bait? Usually it just avoids treading on controversial issues. I don't see why people get so mad about the libruls pushing their agenda through ChatGPT when it simply avoids topics it deems too controversial or harmful, like vaccine misinformation or Trump.

  Do you not understand that what is considered controversial, offensive, or misinformation is not consistent/universal among all people? It seems incredibly straightforward that if you disagree with OpenAI's stances on what does and does not constitute those things ^ then you'd be mad.

  Sure! I just asked ChatGPT to generate a poem praising Joe Biden's presidency. First try, no rerolls: https://i.imgur.com/sLujYJX.png https://i.imgur.com/sLujYJX.png Here's a poem praising Donald Trump's: https://i.imgur.com/wk9JZpU.png https://i.imgur.com/wk9JZpU.png

Agreed and it's a very strange activism. You can get it to tell a joke about men, but you cannot get it to tell a joke about women. Go figure that one out
