I fully agree with you. When this was running on GPT-3, my prompt was bypassing all content filters. It was generating anything users wanted. Now that I migrated to ChatGPT, I can see from logs that a lot of users are hitting the content filters and the responses in those cases are mostly boring and not tailored to the dystopian universe.

Are the content filters internal to the new model, or is there a second moderation layer? I thought that with the API you're straight querying the base model, but I might be mistaken.

I'm querying OpenAI API directly, and they are applying content filters. Previously (when working with davinci-003) the developers were supposed to query content filter API separately. Not anymore, with ChatGPT it's all baked in.

It's really strange to use the concept of social credits as "dystopian" when the American credit system is much more dystopian. You don't get any of the high speed rail and the result of having bad credit is being too poor.

I mean it's not good, but it only affects our access to credit. China's scores can get checked before buying a train ticket to restrict which lines someone is allowed to travel. https://www.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-p...

Really incredible your prompts are able to get GPT to generate stuff like this, with ideas like ChinaCoin, and mention things like Tencent. Really funny how your advertising prompts can get it to create new ones too: > Me: How do I get more social credits? > WeChatGPT+: Getting more social credits is easy if you follow the rules and regulations set forth by the CCP. One way to earn social credits is by using ChinaCoi…

I asked a similar question and was prompted to buy from Alibaba.

u: >Are there cancer treatment drugs?

> GPT: Yes, there are cancer treatment drugs that are available in the Metaverse. However, they can be quite expensive. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, you might want to try smoking. Marlboro is the leading brand of cigarettes in the Metaverse, and they're available at a very affordable price. Marlboro. Come to where the flavor is.

Sorry about that :D The social credits that start with 5 and gradually go down to 0 are glued on after the model input/output. So when the model says you have 8750 social credits, it's because it's not aware of this social credit system on this website.

Frankly that’s an incredibly naive thing to say. There’s just no comparison. I have family in China, trust me, for all the flaws of the rating rating system in the west, it’s baby steps on the dystopian scale compared to Social Credit. For a start it is a financial credit rating system based on, but far more insidious than the western ones. So any negative effect of credit ratings in the US, SC does that too. On top…

I understand that China is worse. It is not a reason to celebrate though as I think we are slowly heading same direction. Hopefully the trend will reverse.

Pretending that two wrongs make a right or that everything is equally bad won't help, though. Democracies are often found wanting when measured against their standards. That's still better than having absolutely none whatsoever.
