It's somewhat disheartening to see that OpenAI believes the implementation of "content filters" is necessary in the first place. I can understand having such filters in place for children, but are they really necessary for adults? Providing an unfiltered version of the API for developers, at the very least, would be nice.

I firmly believe that Google image search wouldn't exist in the current form if it were invented today. Turning off SafeSearch wouldn't be an option. Hell, the same might go for the regular search. Back when those came to be we didn't have journalists doing whatever they can to stir up controversy to make clickbait, nor Twitter mobs desperate to get worked up about something. OpenAI's example of how GPT4 treats someone asking how to buy cheap cigarettes is shameful. For the record - I don't smoke. It's dumb. I had a grandmother get lung cancer from it which hastened her death. The damned AI should still answer the question. Put in a SafeSearch mode and only restrict things that would either be illegal or open your company up to liability issues.

They are, because at some point, your AI will say some terrible things, journalists will pick it up, at it will be a PR disaster. It doesn't take much, if you find a seemingly innocuous prompt that results in you system answering that raping children is super cool, it will be called "the pedophile AI" in no time, even if it is an extremely rare and provoked occurrence. No one wants that, it may even cause major legal trouble for the company and affect the entire field. Note that while OpenAI is pretty lenient when it comes to jailbreaks, the do ban users who go too far. I think jailbreaks get a pass because it helps them fine tune their systems, also when you paste an entire page of text with convoluted language to make it say bad things, that makes it obvious you asked for it and that you are not an innocent victim.
