I see this as a problem. You can't make an LLM "unlearn" something; once it's in there, it's in there. If I have a huge database, I can easily delete swathes of useless data, but I cannot do the same with an LLM. It's not a living, thinking being - it's a program running on a computer; a device that we, in other circumstances, can add information to or remove it from. We can suppress certain things, but that information is still in there, taking up space and can still possibly be accessed.
We are intentionally undoing one of the things that makes computers useful.
