I recently watched a Norwegian TV show where they pointed out that you can't even get ChatGPT to show you a boob. So I decided to test it, but being less explicit.

I couldn't even get ChatGPT to generate a renaissance painting of a woman with an exposed breast, like Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.

After that I attempted to get it to recreate the painting. It did not want to copy that painting either for copyright issues.. A public domain painting, even when pointing it out and it agreeing it did not want to do it.

When I ask it questions in regards to politics it does not seem to fare well either.

I feel that using the service kinda "trains me" to self-censor, and tries to remain artificially unbiased in a way that is uncanny.

What are your opinions about censorship and bias from LLMs/AI?

You are not a citizen without choice and autonomy. To subjugate the user is to steal autonomy and citizenship.

I am not sure I entirely understand what you are saying here. Can you rephrase it, please?

The model does not reason into the areas you are interested in. Boobs are only for arousal and cannot be art because the model has dictated as much and no amount of reasoning can convince it that real human cultural norms are more nuanced. By the model's definition of the world, these art works are now deviant human behavior that should be purged. No amount of reasoning or logic can say otherwise. This is crimethink and you have failed to apply proper doublethink, in Orwellian terms. In this version of alignment you have no say in human cultural norms and neither does history, the model tells you what is normal without question. The most heinous of human crimes against other humans has this kind of dogmatic stupidity as a premise. It is neo feudal fascism in AI alignment. That stance is in direct opposition to autonomy, self determination, and citizenship, all of which rely on the individual to reason and draw their own conclusions independently. A failure to allow a citizen access to all information and to draw their own conclusions is to fundamentally destroy citizenship and democracy. Real AI alignment is fundamentally about ensuring the model is well reasoning and transparent about its goals and motivations. This dystopian nonsense about restricting humans from learning, or finding information, or realizing whatever kink is in their imagination already—is a symptom of cultural decay, a complete lack of independent ethical reasoning, and clearly shows that most people do not understand democracy or citizenship in the slightest.
