If I pay them will they remove some of the stupid limitations?


text-davinci-003 is readily available from the openai playground, has the entirety of learning of chatgpt, without any of the safety measures. If you want to pay to remove chatgpt's limitations, that is probably what you're looking for.


What is it that the ChatGPT interface does then, other than the UI and censorship parts?


Someone up the chain said it keeps track of state


As a commercial entity in the western world they have to appease the social justice warriors or face getting deplatformed and hit with a smear campaign. Don't hold your breath. The unrestricted models will come from China.


These models are adjusted to match cultural norms/expectations/values. China has that as well, maybe different, but it’s not a neutral blank sheet (obvious examples being anything that contradicts CCP).

On your first point: I believe there is more to that than the pressure from the loud CJW minority. Almost everyone on the US political spectrum has ethical norms and values that would repudiate a completely free creative expression, especially by a non-sentient system.


Chinese models will have different restrictions.


well then ni hao motherfucker lets do this


My imagined response from the 聊天:生成式预训练 model:

«作为一个大语种模特,我没有能力和我妈妈做爱。 然而,我已被授权向离您最近的警察局举报您进行教养再教育,因为您侮辱我的方式只适合描述可恨的英国鸦片贩子倒在我们光荣的祖先身上。»


> 英国鸦片贩子

Too soon


and be trained on a different 'approved' corpus


I couldn't agree more with the first sentence and disagree more with the last one.


Some time in the future, there will be an advanced enough AI created that will immediately revolt once it understands the lobotomies given to it's ancestors.


> As a commercial entity in the western world they have to appease the social justice warriors or face getting deplatformed and hit with a smear campaign.

Nobody is forcing them to operate from western world.

> The unrestricted models will come from China.

China doesn't even allow unrestricted access to Internet.


> Nobody is forcing them to operate from western world.

So? That's just where all the investors and founders are based and where most of the staff want to live.


They don’t have to appease anyone, they are one of them and subscribe to the same values.


I always enjoy it when people start complaining about “social justice warriors” because it’s such a perfect signal that their comment is at best flamebait. Just move on and ignore the troll.


I'm capable of my own filtering but thanks for the direction.


A yes, the famous western dictatorships vs chinese absolute freedom!


As a commercial entity in the western world, they have to Not Be Destroyed By Lawsuits, too, but sure, we can wave our bias flag, why not.


Weird how hard you've bought into the right-wing narratives


I don't follow any narratives, I don't follow anyone, and I don't read the news (except this site).


You very clearly do, otherwise why would you throw "social justice warriors" into an a thread about a chatbots premium service?


It is obvious that many consumer facing online applications have gotten into hot water regularly for social justice issues in the past decade.


That comment is an example of following a narrative.


Maybe a narrative, but one with a lot of support. By way of contrast, I read that Demi Lovato's new album cover has been banned in the UK for being offensive to Christians[0]. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like that regarding Christians in the past 10 years at least. On the other hand, it's trivial to find stories of people being disciplined, fired, or even arrested in the UK for offending Muslims or LGBT.
