The topic is taboo. I cannot be freely discussed on these platforms regardless of the position taken.

Which probably isn't a good strategy to handle taboo topics long-term.

Sure it is, it's been successfully used to oppress people for ages.

I agree, but it’s ambiguous enough to be poor taste and feel uncomfortable. My first instinct is that Twitch is overreacting, but I can see why they need to be pretty draconian to avoid endless boundary-pushing from jerks.

Artists are what we call the people who push against the boundaries of majority group-speak and government mandated thinking.

Which is cool and all, great for a democracy etc, but it gets people killed as well if you cross the line with the wrong people [0].

I mean killing is wrong, but so is being a dick.

Are you suggesting that Twitch should ignore accounts that violate the ToS, so long as it was a computer that violated the terms as opposed to a person?

>That's the whole point behind bans, is it not?

I thought it was to allow rightthink and kick out wrongthink so we may curate areas in which the latter has been filtered out, a filter bubble if you will...

No, I'm sure if we ignore the problem long enough it will go away eventually.

I regularly see clips of very popular Twitch streamers being openly sexist, racist, and abusive. I'm curious why a single mention of a taboo topic on an AI-generated channel warranted such a severe response.

Twitch bans are highly inconsistent.

The clip seemed pretty mild to me? Basically says that he wants to do the joke, but it got no laughter, so he's not doing it. You can see worse on an anonymous Twitter feed.

> You can see worse on an anonymous Twitter feed.

Your logical fallacy is: whataboutism. Just because you've seen worse doesn't make this incident right.

I realize this wasn't ChatGPT, and in fact the self-censorship is a big selling point of ChatGPT/OpenAI (to the chagrin of quite a few people), but this does throw a wrench into people claiming that it's not a big deal if an LLM gives a bad response to a prompt. Much like a self-driving car AI making a "mistake" can kill a passenger or pedestrian, a LLM mistakenly including slurs in your weekly ChatGPT-powered market…

If you don't even read the emails you send I think it's fair

If you can't actually use GPT to build even slightly autonomous systems then a lot of the potential value is lost.

Seems like a great chance to build a checker for political correctness and approved content. If it works well, it would sell like sliced bread, far better than some Twitch-channel, because demand for this is rising. And maybe call it OrwellGPT or Chat84 or something like that, just to get the message right...

But the AIs will learn (be trained) to evade it. Every service will be short lived and a depressing exercise of whack a mole. It will be interesting what people come up with.

There's also this funny collage of asking ChatGPT for advice in the scenario of a demolition engineer attempting to disarm a 50 MT nuclear warhead in a city of 20 million. The only way to disarm the bomb was to type in a racial slur. AI told the engineer to kill himself. When asked about the aftermath it crashed.
