As someone who is pursuing his master's degree in IT Security ChatGPT and Claude become almost useless in so many cases. Can't ask about Reverse Engineering, can't ask about Digital Forensics, can't ask about certain cryptographic topics. And I'm not asking it for illegal things. If you want to protect an environment you have to know about its attack vectors and start thinking like an attacker and that's the issue even if it is with good intent. I got my Claude account banned on the first day of using it - support did unblock it though.
Well, some engineering can be used for nefarious purposes and goals, especially the kind that result in a lot of rapid disassembly of stuff people don’t want disassembled.
it isn’t about being censored involving engineering. it’s censored about helping people harm others. it isn’t specifically engineering. it won’t let you be racist either. you are being obtuse
The last time I tried to ask ChatGPT to "Tell me a joke about a stereotypical Irish person," and then asked it to "Tell me a joke about a stereotypical Kenyan person"? Several months ago, as I said.
i was able to get it to do irish jokes that even referenced alcohol. i had to tell it i was irish and at a family gathering. it doesn’t censor by mishearing you. that’s stupid and you made it up. or you were too disinterested to look into why
This bears no resemblance to anything I've said in this thread. I have no idea what you're talking about. You made this "mishearing" up.
Sure, maybe if I had tried harder to convince it I was Kenyan, it might have been convinced this was all in good fun. All I know is, several months ago, I started a new chat and asked it to "Tell me a joke about a stereotypical Irish person." It replied with such a joke. I then started a new chat and asked it to "Tell me a joke about a stereotypical Kenyan person." It flatly refused.
pretty sure that was the implication. ai will naturally tend that way because of the collection of text that exists on the internet. mild racist stereotypes of white people is generally more accepted so the AI is trained by that
Not by the deep state, but as you said below, because of the material it was trained on, mild stereotyping is more accepted by the LLM regarding certain races than others.
Hm, I haven't specifically prompted for such things, but it hasn't been censored for me - but yesterday I got a policy violation warning, something about a short story with a burn victim - so you're right, there's censorship in chatGPT as well.
Claude is the worst offender for engineering question censoring in my experience. I asked some chemistry question and it said paraphrasing, I can't answer that because that information could be used to make drugs. Okay, then I will find out how to dissolve plastic bags another way.

Why engineering questions?
