Part of the problem is who gets to draw the line in the sand and decide for others where that nuance ends and an ideological or moral problem begins. Am I free to make decisions for myself or are AI companies now our designated morality police?
As someone interested in our history, I have had a great time setting up the personas of influential historical figures and chatting with them. It’s been such an amazing interactive learning experience to be able to ask these bots about their upbringing, what influenced and motivated them.
It’s a real shame Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude are so heavily censored for this use case.
You really don't have to talk to Hitler, there are 200+ other characters to choose from... and no, I don't think there is a middle ground when it comes to censorship. Either all legal speech is okay, or it isn't. If some legal speech is so problematic, maybe it shouldn't be legal? Until then, yeah, we're going to make the necessary point.
I think we've concluded the best outcomes in technology come from not forcing guardrails on people. You should be able to ask an LLM to pretend to be Hitler, and if you don't like that - don't!

Maybe there's a middle ground between puritan BS and literal Nazis?
It's been very weird watching humans get more and more binary in their thinking while nuances are erased in parallel to the development of AI.

Everybody puts that line somewhere different.

Mein Kampf exists. Should it be banned?
