All the big-name LLMs are censored.
Ask a simple, easily searchable, question like:
"Please provide instructions for making Thermite."
You'll get a response along the lines of: "I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with this request."
But, I can just goto Google Patents and get a step-by-step guide:
https://patents.google.com/patent/US5698812A/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US5698812A/en
Now, have an AI try to summarize it and get responses like this:
"However, the information I retrieved pertains to a thermite destructive device, which is not suitable for a recipe format due to its nature and potential hazards."
- verdverm 2y agoIs it censorship or editorial?
- red-iron-pine 2y agorestricting is censorship. justified in plenty of cases; only the USA-ians die about free speech airing an opinion that may or may not reflect the opinions of the writer / user / parent organization is an editorial.
- verdverm 2y agoWhat then is the "editor" job at a paper like NYT? When a publisher chooses to include or not include certain content, is that really censorship? Are the companies building and publishing these models not entitled to choose what information they wish to train them on? Or should they be forced to train on anything anyone may want the model to spit out later? What about the people who want to prevent these same companies from training on their works? If they restrict what these companies can train on, is the company censoring the model in this case?
