"chatgpt" Ahh... the thing that makes up stuff and is increasingly... censored? Hard pass. I'll take my own thoughts and not AI limited by fear. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/07/chatgpts-user-base-shrank-after-openai-censored-harmful-responses/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/07/chatgpts-user-ba... "OpenAI also started responding to user backlash and regulatory pressure by censoring harmful ChatGPT responses, which may have led some users to abandon the tool, possibly viewing it as less useful, less trustworthy, or simply less fun." Let me know when I can talk to a human again. I'm not here to talk to NPCs hiding behind Censored AI. pre-post edit: noticed your edit. "To believe his claim that he's a good dictator." I trust Elon as a "good dictator" when compared to alternatives. (IE: Media working with the FBI to censor stories and influence elections by hiding truth) Don't talk about the "robust mechanism to protect free speech" without being willing to talk about all the alternative to "Elon"... the US government? Other tech companies? Media? Who have all been proven to be willing to lie to keep a narrative? Even if he has his flaws? (hint: he has many) The fact that he's not beholden to the US Government or other entities is in itself a step that we needed to break the silence about all the "conspiracy theories" that keep ended up being true. Elon is faaaaaaar from perfect. He sure as shit isn't the one walking on water.... but he's waaaaaaay more trustworthy than most of the alternatives out there.

The US government is elected by you (assuming you're a US citizen). Public companies you can actually acquire shares in, and hold some control over. And there's a level of transparency in what they have to report to the public. Elon, you're just blindly putting your trust and faith in him... I'll never understand the tribal instinct people seem to have in blindly following a single authoritarian but convincing leader over a system that empowers you, has checks and balances in place, and federates the powers.
