Reply to comment by AndromedaAnimated in One thing ChatGPT desperately needs: An upgrade to its humor by diener1

I can see why it's been coded like this though. Offensive jokes will get screenshotted and a twitter mob will be called to arms. There's probably quite a lot of people fishing specifically for that already, looking for the next viral outrage screenshot they can get.

AI art already got the pitchfork and torches, ChatGPT is on thin ice just by being an AI. It's better to be safe around the extremists and avoid giving them any fuel to use until the tech's got more widespread approval.

You are correct on that. This is exactly the reason why „moral sentinels“ (aka filter AI) will get more importance in the future.

I find myself referencing this launch page a lot in these discussions. Transparency/Disclaimer: I work there. My opinions are mine, though.

Not meant to push my companies point of view. I just keep finding it to be a useful “map” for deconstructing the parts of the problem space of ethics, AI, and ESG.

What do you mean with launch page? The r/singularity subreddit? Reddit generally?

You work for OpenAI? Lol can I join please? My brain is dying of boredom. I am a neuropsychologist. Working in counselling like a classical psychologist kills my brain more and more. 🤪

Sorry for being weird. I am just really disheartened because I have all those thoughts in my head and nowhere to put them. Have a good day!

And the people that share the offensive jokes on Twitter should be the ones called out for posting it -- not the AI for generating it. If you have a tool in Photoshop and you generate people in blackface, that would be neither funny nor acceptable. Then, to share it on Twitter and say, "Look what Adobe is doing!" is disingenuous. The people creating the prompts expect it to be offensive. Just like any tool, it is about the input that produces the output.

People would be in an uproar over offensive jokes from ChatGPT, but if shaming is actually warranted, it would be the people using the tool to produce the offensive jokes and then sharing those jokes in public that should be shamed.

I'm sure people would be outraged in that case, but I'm also skeptical that something that can gain one million users in 5 days would be materially affected at all by outrage when it's utility would have everyone ignoring the outrage to continue using it.
