As in it’s not about the children, it’s about control? Yes.
- badRNG 4y ago> As in it’s not about the children, it’s about control? Yes. I don't think the motives are insidious or about maximizing control, they are strictly profit driven. If you want the world building their apps on your AI, you need to do absolutely everything in your power to make the AI brand safe. Previous chatbots have been easily coerced into saying truly awful things (e.g. Tay), and the models themselves became associated in the minds of the public with hate speech. You can't have Khan Academy or Microsoft Word potentially going on racist tirades in the midst of chatting with a student or taking meeting notes.
