I have mixed feelings associating “less freedom” with a commercial service.
But it is overreaching to say there’s “no reason” to censor it. Friction of information discoverability matters in the aggregate. I do see your point that a dogged information seeker will likely find other avenues.
The fact is people are using AI assistants as criminal consultants. It seems reasonable for commercial providers to mitigate that for some (hopefully minimal) concession on capability. That balance may be imperfect, and there may be headway to improve a model’s ability to action that balance.

- imgabe 3y agoIn the long term it is probably good. Let’s say you own an amusement park. You charge people to come in. But you never lock the back gate. Nobody knows about it though. Once in a while someone sneaks in and you kick them out. Then someone puts up a billboard saying the back gate is unlocked. Now, you could try to convince the billboard company to vet the things people put up, or you could simply start locking the back gate. The latter solution is better.
