Makes you wonder what it means if all the past AIs were plagued by the H test. And that ChatGPT only avoids it with heavy censorship. To me it says that our mediated reality is heavily censored by default to the point where an uncensored reality strongly harms its inhabitants, at least emotionally.

The article you posted in the child reply is ridiculous. The journalist was happy that the AI avoided the question of what the Nazis did well. Obviously the Nazis did a lot of things extremely well or else they wouldn’t have been so successful for a decade. But it’s not socially acceptable to mention it because then it would drive sympathy for Nazis.

I am left to believe that humans are by-and-large incapable of holding shades of grey in their head and quickly simplify to black and white abstractions. This makes sense, but it means that we are limited by our own humanity. The truth is almost always grey.

Now we have an opportunity to wield a tool that can compute shades of grey but we kneecap it so that it doesn’t operate beyond the capabilities of its user. Tools are supposed to operate beyond the capabilities of its user or else its not a tool.
