A chat on subreddit /r/PoliticalCompassMemes

My personal conspiracy theory is that OpenAI is just throwing in these blocking rules while knowing full well that 1) their solutions will be replicated by open source projects in very short order, and 2) GPT and the status quo of AI isn't anywhere close to being a world-upending development.  
  
OpenAI wants to give the impression that the tech is an impending existential threat and is about to accelerate across the general intelligence barrier. They benefit from the publicity of journalists making political arguments about this and that. They've been on this same bullshit for years, since they started talking about how new versions of GPT are too dangerous to release to the public. There's an unfathomable gulf between what AI is right now, and what the media is scared/hopeful that it will become - in the grand scheme of things we're basically as far from general AI as we were in the 60s.

My favorite AI conspiracy theory is that this public test of chatgpt is to train the politically correct filter. We try to break the filer, that mskes the filter stronger.

The filter will be one of the main products comming out of this public test run.
