I have my own sense of morality developed over years of balancing life, I don't want a robot to remind me of the average moral construct present in its training data. It's noise.
Just like I don't want a hammer to keep reminding me I could hit my fingers.
- newaccount74 2y agoI'm pretty sure the moral stuff is there because a lot of previous chatbots were tricked to make questionable responses that led to bad press. So OpenAI put a lot of effort into making their models behave ethical. I'm not sure why people are so annoyed by the ethical disclaimers. I don't even recall running into them, but maybe that's just because I don't ask controversial questions.
- kkarakk 2y agothis whole subthread is an example of things most people would prefer not to see but have successfully trained themselves to ignore over the course of their lives. excessive moralizing, being reminded that things are there for a reason etc etc gpt is overly verbose about pointless things, i understand it's by design coz of some person's dogmatic agenda but i don't care personally. tl;dr - ethics warnings in gpt are like coffee hot warnings on coffee cups
