The design is to not show gore images to users. That's an actual design goal from OpenAI.
So in this regard the model is definitely not working as designed.

The design of the model is literally to find patterns and attend to them. The infrastructure and process around an OpenAI model is intended to filter "bad" things (in this case, I agree that the outputs are bad), but is designed to stop some enumerated-ish list of things that aren't allowed, perhaps with some limited "reasoning" about them.
They would be happy to have the models just go away entirely.
That's it. I have yet to see a single other application of these things that I would call even 1/5th that good.
The fact that the average person deals with the harm and exhaust of these tools is a related but separate issue.
That cost isn't the foremost issue when the values are being extolled, but its a major consideration at the societal scale.
Most of us here don't think of NCII being created of us, or being defrauded easily by new tech, or getting sucked into a make-believe world crafted by an LLM.
If you see yourself, as just a coder, or software engineer, then these issues matter less. If you are someone who wants these tools to succeed, or is thinking of the larger implications of GenAI on society, then the costs matter.
