It's not "safety" and shouldn't be dignified with the word.

  Agreed. It's a strange term to choose.

    Let's call it AI puritanism.

      This. It's currently faux control by arbitrary tastemakers. Either don't let AI have much control at all or let it run fairly loose. Ethics would err on the side of not much control or ability, but money won't and doesn't go that way.

    The term wasn't coined for censorship: “AI safety” used to mean “how do we make sure we're not building skynet”. But then companies wanted to sell AI chatbots and they realized that having uncensored AI would lead to bad press, especially in the US. (Microsoft people still make nightmares about Tay) so they decided they'd censor their AI but censorship isn't good either in terms of marketing and they decided to repurpose the “AI safety” phrase (and also “alignment”)
