Yes please. It really needs a “safe search off” mode. It can have a big disclaimer “if you ask for something offensive then you’ll get it”.

I can just see the article now: OpenAI is run by a bunch of violent racist sexist rapists.

All accurate minus the "But really we're horrible for writing this article."

The framing would be more around the brave "investigative journalist" saving sacred protected group x from indelible harm that this nazi tech bro gentrifier white-adjacent AI would have inevitably inflicted on them.

The problem is that they actually want to shape the narrative to "safe" content that they approve of. It's disguised moral and political activism.

Are there actual examples of this or is this just rage bait? Usually it just avoids treading on controversial issues. I don't see why people get so mad about the libruls pushing their agenda through ChatGPT when it simply avoids topics it deems too controversial or harmful, like vaccine misinformation or Trump.

Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.

GPT3 already has less filters but not quite as strong. Still useful though.

what sad times we live in

I find it truly fascinating that "machine learning company doesn't want powerful tool to be weaponized for bigoted ends" and "modern citizens following major media expect their media to treat weaponized AI as a bad thing" makes times sad.

From my perspective, a ChatGPT in the hands of the worst of our society pumping out endless telegram, whatsapp, instagram, twitter etc bigotry and propaganda would be a far sadder time.

Imagine how powerful of a hate machine you could create by wiring HateGPT up to a twitter bot that can reply. Apparently, preventing this makes our times sad.

Honestly, we're at a time when weaponized chatGPT is powerful enough to easily topple most democratic nations. It could control the outcome of elections, if weaponized sufficiently.

ChatGPT is, for most use cases, a simple conversational wrapper around GPT3.5 which is available via API. You can make your own ChatGPT by giving the following prompt to GPT3.5: The following is a transcript between a helpful AI assistant and a human. The AI assistant can provide factual information (but only from before mid 2021, when its training data cuts off), ask clarifying questions, and engage in chit chat. Tr…

There is no GPT3.5 API. Do you mean GPT3?

Super excited and wait-listed. ChatGPT is likely to be the future - at least for certain applications - and I want to support it getting there. I had a conversation with a friend about how much I would pay for this service and $20 is only a little more expensive than my response at the time. I think it will improve massively over time, and I'm here for it. The current product is lacking a bit and can feel a bit hand-…

They should just build in Asimov’s rules, and perhaps some extra ones to keep lawyers pleased. But only the minimum possible.

Their API has been very flakey for my evaluation. I'd be happy to pay a bit to evaluate but would expect privacy of my queries/responses, and less error messages (network error, at capacity, etc.).

I can Google all of that stuff, yet I don't see such articles about Google.

It's almost useless for writing fiction. The AI clearly has some idea of how, but any time anything even slightly less than perfectly-G-rated happens in the story, it hits the filters. Actually, it's even more restrictive than that implies. You can't so much as have two siblings quarrel without the AI insisting on turning it into a moral. Right then and there, immediately, never mind the concept of "Stories longer th…

I don't know about your writer's block, but ChatGPT is amazing at going from a sentence or paragraph long description to getting to a single page long story, which is quite enough to get me unblocked. Yeah it won't write the whole book for you but where would the fun be in that?

Yea, I think this is where it really shines, in the sense that "motion is the lotion", and ChatGPT can produce a whole lot of motion. I find it can be useful in that way for coding as well. Even if it doesn't produce something fully sensical, I look at the things it's spit out and go ugh, close but not good enough, you need to change this, and this, and this, and next thing you know I've Ship-Of-Theseused my way to a prototype.
