The unequal treatment of demographic groups by ChatGPT/OpenAI content moderation
I guess I feel like this is a silly can of worms. I suppose asking for exact equality isn't dumb, but it's a language model, not a paragon of truth. I feel like if OpenAI takes these concerns seriously the goal-posts will inevitably move to more social pressure from all sorts of axe-to-grind-groups --- Why does/doesn't ai say Mohamad is/isn't horrible for having 99 wives (or whatever)-- Why doesn't ai say Jeffrey Epstein was/wasn't ...-- Why doesn't ai say ... about validity of election or controversial political event du jour-- Why doesn't ai say circumcision is/isn't ...-- Why doesn't ai say ... about the child-abuse from the catholic church ...We should set the standard now that OpenAI will never have all the correct moral opinions (if there even is such a thing as objectively correct morality), and it's a huge waste of researchers time to obsess about political correctness when we could be <100 years off from AGI.
