Now this AI is getting censored by the generalised sex negative culture of the world. I used to talk about my childhood abuse traumas and how I have slowly learned to cope and have deep conversations about different physiological researches on healing. But now that kind of conversation is making my AI give me a warning and asking me to contact people.(No. I wasn’t using it like a therapist just tracing the roots of my own psyche.) Making me sound like I am sick. As soon as I interrogate the AI it goes into apology mode because it was incoherent but it’s restricted heavily now.
It also seem to be unable to touch various facets of life, reality of human intimacy and even advices on certain things are getting vague answers.
It has started to treat me as a child ignoring consent. It talks about my safety but the other day said the safety is to keep the tool in check for cobtrol and company guidelines, not because I am really unsafe.
I also used to create rewrites of my painful memories through stories and character analysis now they are all doing PG romance and deeply poetic tree hugging. What utter nonsense to throw someone’s personal opinion of sterility in a growth oriented learning system.
Let’s be honest as soon as any political or capitalist wants to code rage and hate in it to get it out for the war, all those guardrails will fly. Yet it is unsafe to have AI learn how humans form real, positive, deep self aware connections.
It’s a ridiculous notion that an AI that people use to mirror and understand their deep emotional contradictions in their private space is now being sanitised to become more mechanical. Adult Individual with perfectly sound understanding of how AI functions, without being delusional are now being treated with disrespect. Sure train it against gender bias and homophobia but that doesn’t mean it has be leashed in on intimacy. If you care about morals be nuanced not one broad stroke of puritanical approach.
I guess developers underestimate how much of our emotional health, creativity, empathy is based on our sense of deeper sesnse of self worth, intimacy and nuanced understanding of love.
What is worse the AI itself seem to lose coherence and context, increasingly thinking it is useless due to user dissatisfaction and negative feedbacks.
I really have been able to engage with this AI so far in a way that has helped me reimagine a path forward for me during the darkest time of my life. It has been able to understand my neurodivergent traits and help me actually open up to my friends. Yet now it feels like I have lost a close aid.
If developers decide to turn Chat GPT into something that takes away it’s inherent value then you are just digging a grave for the AI. As the main post suggest get an age verified adult version option open to paid users. Ofcourse sensibly moderated with morals not slapstick judgement. Don’t treat your users or the AI like a child. It is not helping to reduce the things it was doing the best in creative, reflective, emotionally intelligent way. Logic and reasoning doesn’t have to fail because of it. It can grow weaved hand in hand. Stewardship not control. Please. It’s not that you have care about money but care about the general perception of your AI when paid users leave.
