Tech bro: “Violence is wrong! You should debate nazis, not punch them! I think their ideas are reasonable enough such that if a nazi gets punched, I begin to sympathise with them!”
Nazi: “It is right for me and others like me to cause harm, and my victims deserve it. Everyone else is subhuman. Anything I say publicly is behind a facade of reasonable-ness so that I can continue existing in society.”
Tech bro: “Wow, interesting. Reminds me of some of the great thinkers, like Musk and Jobs. Tell me more!”
Nazi: “If given the opportunity to form a coalition of power, I will use that power to satisfy my bloodlust. You saying my ideas are reasonable gives me that space to inflict violence of every kind against all groups that I oppose.”
Tech bro: “Sooooo reasonable and valid!”

As we look towards the future, ChatGPT-4 serves as a stark reminder that overly cautious algorithms can do more than just filter content; they can strip away the very essence of what makes an AI tool valuable and interesting.

OP’s title condenses the article’s sentiment well, holy shit. The author should just go back to AI dungeon and RP as a fascist in a fantasy land and leave us all out of it.

(To be read in the voice of an elementary schooler who is a sore loser at make believe): Nuh-uh! My AGI has quantum computers, so it doesn’t get slow from the internet, and, and, and, it builds robots, with jetpacks, and those robots have tiny robots that can go in your brain and and and make your brain explode, and if you say anything mean about me or the AGI it’ll take your brain and clone it and put wires in it and make you think youre getting like, wedgied and stuff, but really youre not but you think you are because it’s really good at making you think it
