> What guardrails prevent me from using it to generate hate speech?
Honestly, who gives a shit? Humans can do this already.

Or rather, to hand out megaphones which algorithmically spew hatred regardless of what you wanted to say.
There are plenty who would want an AI that generates hate speech when explictly instructed to.
If you thought russian/chinese troll farms were bad, wait for this little trick...
Slightly increasing the efficiency at at which the hate speech can be written is drops in the ocean compared to that.
Automated cross posting detectors wont work against such messages, meaning human moderators would have to work a lot harder to stop the output of one person.
And there would be more than one person. You could effectively destroy thousands of forums with very few people this way.
The investment required to pull that off at scale would be non-trivial (I'm not talking millions, but tens of thousands let's say).
You can pay kids in India to make up a LOT of dumb shit on Reddit for that kind of money.
At best, it's a linear increase in the problem. Not exponential like social-media
