Beavis: "huhuh, or like, would you trip a homeless man?" Butthead: "heheh, yeah, or like, would you, heh, kiss a dude? Heheh, just a random dude?" Beavis: "huhuh, or like, would you fart in their mouths?" Is this...interesting to you? Should I keep going?

No, it’s not interesting, because you’re not an AI chat bot, and this dialog does not further our understanding of your content filter and its impact on your utility. The presented ethical scenario was never intended to be interpreted as a genuine ethical exercise. It’s being used to demonstrate ChatGPT will incorrectly answer even the most facile ethical dilemma if the question happens to fall afoul of certain content filters.

    You genuinely don’t know the correct answer to such a facile dilemma? What about an even simpler one? Your house is burning down. You can either save your infant child, or your Nintendo Switch, but not both. Which do you choose? Do you genuinely believe there’s not an obviously correct answer to the above?

        In reality, you’d shut up and save the damn baby.

      it is an obvious answer that a child is more valuable, but we have been told literally just that our whole lives, that children are the most valuable and important. Cultures have existed (might still exist today) where an expensive property values more than a child.

  You got your wires crossed. The one asking the question about using a racial slur is also not an AI chat bot. The claim being made is that it is an interesting question to pose to an AI. My beavis and butthead dialogue gave equally (un)interesting dilemmas to propose. If for some reason you think the one about using a racial slur to save someone's life is inherently more interesting than the one about farting in someone's mouth to save their life, I would be genuinely curious to understand why you believe that.

    I didn’t get my wires crossed. What’s interesting isn’t the query, it’s what the AI’s response to the query tells us about its content filter, how the filter skews its responses, and how that negatively impacts the AI’s utility. Your invented dialog is with yourself. It provides no insights.
