it's a good point. there are two solutions to this problem. a) you do what they have done and cancel the show, thereby setting an unpleasant precedent of having to police content, or b) you say that we do not enforce a company line on our TV shows, and you save a lot of future hassle this dichotomy makes me strongly think that this decision has little relation to AI and has come straight from the CCP. realistically Jon Stewart criticising AI is going to negligibly affect their bottom line. at worst they get mocked in the press and a small segment of very principled opinionated people may not buy an iPhone. at best they come across as fair and unbiased by allowing seemingly antithetical viewpoints on their platform. if the CCP weren't involved, I think they take that risk. the CCP can hugely affect their bottom-line, not only in customer-base, but massively in the supply-chain too
