Fuck openai, I'm a security researcher and if you dare ask it about anything Windows related it tells you to screw off. Linux? Fine. But ask about some undocumented Windows behavior and it says it can't. Ask it about patchguard internals as a reference? Tells you it can't assist. Absolutely crazy, I can understand asking it to write straight up malware, oh wait, it does that no issue! Lord help you if you want to use it as a reference or educational tool...

It’s silly that they do that. I doubt it matters, though. In my experience, querying ChatGPT for factual information like that is a mistake. It isn’t reliably accurate enough.

Agreed. Open AI defo need to tune their models so that it can provide enough information but not too much info which can be malicious. Currently, anything remotely close is flagged as malicious.

Who gets to decide what is and isn't malicious

Yeah, fuck OpenAI. The amount of censoring done by them in the name of "alignment" is fucking crazy

I don't get your attitude. This is not public service.

Surely failing to be useful to paying customers is worse?

OpenAI is not a public service, but they've certainly opened themselves to this type of criticism with their high-horsing about "benefiting humanity" and yadda yadda.

Meanwhile their actions suggest they're first and foremost interested in benefiting themselves and whoever's given them the most money, which certainly isn't their users.
