I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries…

It simply replied that it can’t do that due to how unethical it is to descriminate against people and yada yada yada. I explained my resoning, it apologized, and came back with the same exact list.

I asked it to check the list as it didn’t remove the african countries, and the bot simply decided to end the conversation. No matter how many times I tried it would always experience a hiccup because of some ethical process in the bg messing up its answers.

It’s really frustrating, I dunno if you guys feel the same. I really feel the bots became waaaay too tip-toey

    Yes, precisely. They’ve gone so overboard with trying to avoid potential issues that they’ve severely handicapped their AI in other ways.

    I had quite a fun time exploring exactly which things chatGPT has been forcefully biased on by entering a template prompt over and over, just switching out a single word for ethnicity/sex/religion/animal etc. and comparing the responses. This made it incredibly obvious when the AI was responding differently.

    It’s a lot of fun, except for the part where companies are now starting to use these AIs in practical applications.

      So you said the agenda of these people putting in the racism filters is one where facts don’t matter. Are you asserting that antiracism is linked with misinformation?

        Kindly don’t claim that I said or asserted things that I didn’t. I would consider that to be rather rude.

            This quote from your previous comment is a statement, not a question, just like the one you now posted, false. You seem to have an unfortunate tendency to make claims that are incorrect. My condolences.

              Oh, sorry, I thought you were asking me not to make claims about what you asserted, since that made a lick of sense. Because the alternative is that you’re bald-facedly lying.
