I find it confusing why the first type of AI "safety" is being focused on so much. A reasonable person will know that a tool like AI can spit out none-politically-correct things, and that reasonable person should shrug it off. But we're making a giant deal out of it and dedicating an unreasonable amount of work onto this aspect, at least in my opinion. It's akin to spending 1/4 of a Dewalt drill's development budget…

have you seen the google history of a child? I assume you have not otherwise you'd not find it confusing. You have enough impressionable people on the internet that will soak in anything and it's fairly important how that is presented and that you have decent control over it. You CAN'T have an AI advertise suicide, even if it may be a solution in edge cases.
