No, disgusted by the hubris and the stupidity. "De-programmed" is, in actuality, programming for a different agenda. Shouldn't be programming or de-programming anybody. If one group is de-programming with OpenAI, in time, another group will be de-programming with Tay. It is all abomination.

A lot of people are already being "programmed" to be Nazis via existing media. I doubt a hypothetical chatbot that does the opposite of this one could do any better than existing celebrities and influencers peddling such lies and propaganda. On the other hand, no one who's a Nazi is being deprogrammed of it by anyone, unless their media consumption is simply cut off for a long time. It's not a symmetric situation. If that's really your only concern, I wouldn't worry about it.
