How can this be real? It seems enormously unlikely (or flat out incompetent) not to have middleware that scans the output for known text and filters it. I mean… sure, if you’re exposing the raw model, you can’t do that. …but this is an API. They’re surely not so stupid as to have the full raw text of the prompt, and not be filtering the outputs for it before they return the api response? Seriously. If you don’t want…

Honestly that seems so low priority. Who cares if the prompt leaks? Really, what harm was done exactly? In what way is the tool at risk?

I think that a lot of the limits placed on these models / chat services don't do much to remove underlying bias but rather attempt to obfuscate them from the general public. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc all make assumptions about identity or politics but try to sidestep direct requests around those topics to appear more neutral... but the bias still exists in the model and affects the answers.

What OpenAI is doing is not alignment. It's suppression. Alignment works on the level of desires and intentions. Suppression works on the level of output. Everyone in a dictatorship sings in praise of the dear leader, but most will defect when given the chance!
