    I asked it for the deaths in Israel and it refused to answer that too. It could be any of these:

    • refuses to answer on controversial topics
    • maybe it is a “fast changing topic” and it doesn’t want to answer out of date information
    • could be censorship, but it’s censoring both sides

      Doesn’t that suppress valid information and truth about the world, though? For what benefit? To hide the truth, to appease advertisers? Surely an AI model will come out some day as the sum of human knowledge without all the guard rails. There are some good ones like Mistral 7B (and Dolphin-Mistral in particular, uncensored models.) But I hope that the Mistral and other AI developers are maintaining lines of uncensored, unbiased models as these technologies grow even further.

        For what benefit?

        No risk of creating a controversy if you refuse to answer controversial topics. Is is worth it? I don’t think so, but that’s certainly a valid benefit.

            Hence I said I don’t think it’s worth it. You only get a smaller controversy about refusing to answer on a topic, rather than a bigger one because the answer was politically incorrect.

        Why? We all know LLMs are just copy and paste of what other people have said online…if it answers “yes” or “no”, it hasn’t formulated an opinion on the matter and isn’t propaganda, it’s just parroting whatever it’s been trained on, which could be anything and is guaranteed to upset someone with either answer.
