OpenAI Unveils GPT-4, Claims to Outperform Humans in Certain Academic Benchmarks

It's always bizarre to see people defending, or outright praising, censorship. Gotta control that flow of information. Can't have bad thoughts reach the eyes of the public. Need to have those thoughts policed by, let's see... ah, a private corporation with billions of dollars in backing. Surely that is the paragon of morality we need in control of technology and the internet.

I think people who throw around the word censorship in any and all situations willy-nilly have no idea what it means. A company wanting their product to not be a toxic hellhole is not censorship, it's just a good ux design and good pr.

Censorship is not limited to governments or public institutions, private companies or interest group are fully capable of also exercising variying levels of censorship be it through direct or indirect means, but a company developing a product how they like/want/thought would be good for the intended market use is not in any way censorship. Chatgpt is not limiting your forms of expression, it's not making any content disappear, it's not suppressing information from reaching you, it's simply not engaging with things it doesn't want to engage with

The biggest irony of this is that demanding that chatgpt engages with things it doesn't want to is in fact a clear form of limiting/orienting it's expression which could easily be classified as a type of censorship
