It's just not safe.
It's unusable. you can't ask it normal questions to not get stonewalled by it's default censorship message - it wouldn't even work for commercial case.
Seems fine for most commercial use cases. Got a tech support chat bot? It doesn't need to be answering questions about religion. Also, corporate environments already tend to be super politically correct. There's already a long list of normal words I can't say at work.
No can do, but https://developers.google.com/style/word-list seems to have all of them and more, except that it's missing "hooray." One funny red-exclamation-mark example from this public list is "smartphone."
Some are recommended against just cause of spelling or something, but anything that says to use a more "precise" term seems to mean it's considered offensive, kinda like in The Giver.
BTW hooray is okay there, but 'hip-hip-hooray is discouraged. Germans said hep hep in the hep-hep pogrom of the early 1800s and might have said 'hep hep hurra' during the 3rd Reich. It cuts too closely though, personally I just use bravo to avoid any trouble.
About hip hip, I ended up looking into that when I saw it back then. The connection to the early 1800s riots was made by a single journalist back then, and it was most likely false. More importantly, nobody really makes that connection unless they're trying to.
I wholly disagree. This is arguably close to the perfect solution:
- Developers and end users can choose which model they want to use
- Model distributors don't necessarily take the fall since they provide a "healthy" model alternative
- The uncensored "base" model can be finetuned into whatever else is needed
You have to remember, ChatGPT is censored like a Soviet history book but didn't struggle to hit hundreds of millions of users in months. This is what releases will look like from now on, and it's not even a particularly damning example.
