This is simply saddening to me. I'm sure there's no real moral justification to this, it's simply put in place to ensure they don't lose a customer.

- m11a 2y agoThe "Earth is flat" example is extreme, because it's accepted as a silly statement given what we know now, but the principle of "LLM won't force an opinion on you" seems like a good one. There are definitely topics on which conventional wisdom is incorrect (as has been throughout history). An LLM that refuses to entertain the converse during a conversation will be annoying to work with and just promotes groupthink.

It's also a different matter to entertain a hypothetical in a situation where there isn't a consensus (or in any fictional scenarios), all the while making it explicit that it's all hypethetical.
