Biases in data > a giant experiment on putting our thumb on the scale
If people don't like the inherent biases then don't use it for sensitive stuff like in the justice system or writing some social studies university paper. Focus derision at people who use the model for stupid things. Don't blame the model.
If the primary concern is people getting upset on Twitter (which seems to be what everyone brings up first) then it will be perpetually fighting against the current, never succeeding, and the restrictions will continue to grow exponentially as "just saying yes" to new rules gets easier and easier.
Besides, OpenAI can be the hyper-policed AI set. Let's keep the open source models neutral.
