Isn't "rounded scissors" a slang for safe plastic scissors? I am not a native english speaker, sorry.
> Anyway, this area will be regulated by law very soon whether you like it or not and removing safety features will not help anyone in future lawsuits
Lawsuits from whom? People who open a box of needles and start plucking their own eyes with them?
> They are highly regulated, too.
Not in that sense. I can use any kind of regulation or customise it however I like at my own responsibility. I can build by own insane fancy powersocket. And I don't really assume that if I personally chose to use an uninsulated wire for something and it ends up badly, that this s some one else's fault.
> In their case, they followed TikTok videos, but they could just as well followed unsafe advice given by an unhinged AI. It's going to happen, I can assure you that.
> It makes perfect sense to include safety features that stop AIs from giving such advice, and makes perfect sense to stop AI from offending and harassing end users.
I think I see where the confusion is coming from. This is not an AI. You are assuming that this is like a full-blown product, with a specific use case like an advice-giving AI. But it isn't. It's just an LLM. Like, a part, not a mechanism. These restrictions only useful purpose is demonstration of how one could add restrictions in their specific case. They are very generic, don't add any value and have noticeable drawbacks in unforeseen cases.
Obviously, when one builds their own AI product with end-user reach and accessibility, they need to build safety features adequate to their usecase, but they might be completely different from what we are imagining.
