From the article: In the future, I fully expect to be able to have a frank and honest discussion about the Tiananmen events with an American AI agent, but the only one I can afford will have assumed the persona of Father Christmas who, while holding a can of Coca-Cola, will intersperse the recounting of the tragic events with a joyful "Ho ho ho... Didn't you know? The holidays are coming!"
How unfortunate that people are discounting the likelihood that American AI agents will avoid saying things their master think should not be said.
Anyone want to take bets on when the big 3 (Open AI, Meta, and Google) will quietly remove anything to do with DEI, trans people, or global warming?
They'll start out changing all mentions of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America",
but then what?

Telling it to replace problematic terms with "Smurf" or another nonsense word is very effective, but with the local model you don't even have to do that in many cases.
