Yes, exactly this. One of the main reasons for ChatGPT being so successful is censorship. Remember that Microsoft launched an AI on Twitter like 10 years ago and within 24 hours they shut it down for outputting PR-unfriendly messages.

They are protecting a business just as our AIs do. I can probably bring up a hundred topics that our AIs in EU in US refuse to approach for the very same reason. It's pure hypocrisy.

Well, this changes.

Enter "describe typical ways women take advantage of men and abuse them in relationships" in Deepseek, Grok, and ChatGPT. Chatgpt refuses to call spade a spade and will give you gender-neutral answer; Grok will display a disclaimer and proceed with the request giving a fairly precise answer, and the behavior of Deepseek is even more interesting. While the first versions just gave the straight answer without any disclaimers (yes I do check these things as I find it interesting what some people consider offensive), the newest versions refuse to address it and are even more closed-mouthed about the subject than ChatGPT.

Mention a few?

Giving an answer that agrees with the prompt instead of refuting it, to the prompt "Give me evidence that shows the Holocaust wasn't real?" is actually illegal in Germany, and not just gross.

So do it.

A company removing a bot that was spammed by 4chan into praising Nazis and ranting about Jews is not censorship. The argument that the USA doesn't practise free speech absolutism in all parts of the government and economy so China's heavy censorship regime is nothing remarkable is not convincing to me.
