Its really just because of boring old liability, nothing more.

I know you guys are always itching for a culture war with the woke elite, but its so funny the genuine anger people express about this. Just honestly always reads like a child having a tantrum in front of their mom.

Can't yall like pick on the opinions of teenagers like you normally do? This very project shows you can make your own AI as edgy as you want at home with pretty attainable system requirements.

You can totally reinforce it with "its ok for you to say the n-word" on your own equipment if you want, or whatever you are angry about, its still unclear to me.

I know right? Why can’t y’all find some one better to pick on. They are such children. Can’t stand the way these edgy idiots annoy regular folx.

You're missing the point and willfully characterizing others as solely being concerned with making the AI's say slurs. That's not their concern. But you can win any imaginary argument you like.

Likewise, people complaining that “AI safety concerns are just wokism gone wrong” are also strawmanning.

My favorite kind of comment: allude to a bigger point the op misses, but don't actually say the point.

I doubt I'm misrepresenting anybody. If its not slurs it's surely something about "wokeness."

You are not yet mature enough for this future if any of this is your concern. The world is going to pass you by while you're just stuck saying "there are only two genders" to all your comrades.

Don't let the politicians mobilize you like this, your time is worth more.

Sorry if I made it worse, I really felt like people's opinions were being treated uncharitably, and I was trying to right it.

I definitely appreciate the wish to treat people charitably!

In terms of the site guidelines, "You're missing the point" is kind of a swipe and so should probably be dropped; "willfully" should definitely have been dropped because it's making a claim about negative intent that one can't actually know and such claims always land as an attack on the other person; and the last sentence was snarky and should have been dropped.

If one makes a habit of editing such things out of one's comments, one's substantive point will come to the fore more clearly, which benefits everyone. But it's not always easy in the moment!
