Well, it was just my train of thoughts released into the wild. I have no specialized AI/ML background, so I cannot weight anything I write. I'm just making educated guesses. There are some rules in every society that at least deal with the question about what is appropriate and when, so these rules should serve as a boundary. But I agree, there will always be an area of uncertainty. Maybe we should just stop to think about how to eliminate these. Also, these rules differ from society to society. Maybe the greater mistake is to assume that there is a generative model that fits the needs of every society.

The difference between societal standards and expectations is one of the reasons I think the efforts to build such content filtering/restrictions into the models themselves is a bad idea. Between uncertainty and the variation around the world we would be much better off if we embraced modular pipelines and tooling to make them easier, plug my American culture value filter in after my global human text generation tool, and serve that up to my American customers, plug my French culture value filter into the global model and serve it up to my French customers… much better than pretending there are global standards of morality for written content … there are obviously some standards people agree on in the real world of physical interaction between humans and other humans, animals, private property and so on … but what constitutes offensive text is nowhere near as universal.
