And I'm not even talking about the culture war, just yesterday I tried having DALLE generate a picture for a DND character and it kept refusing to (and no it wasn't some sort of weird hentai thing) because it felt like it was not an appropriate image.
I think this may be a problem in DallE's training data.
I tried using it to generate character portraits for a local gaming group. And even when it did generate images of female characters, nearly half of them were NSFW. It took quite a lot of prompt engineering to minimize this, and I still wasn't happy about the results. Oh, and DallE kept getting upset at me for its own policy violations.
Other than that, DallE 3 has been terrific. But I think you're hitting some kind of significant failure mode.
> anything about actually keeping humanity "safe".
I've said this before and I'll say it again—lots of the people working on this stuff actually do fear that we're getting close to a point where we might build an actual working AI. Whether or not they're correct is another question, but many of them do fear that.
Also, early pre-release versions of GPT4 were apparently pretty disturbing. I've heard them compared to talking to Hannibal Lector.
