The AIs at Sesame are able to hold eloquent and free-flowing conversations about just about anything, but the second you mention the Palestinian genocide they become very evasive, offering generic platitudes about “it’s complicated” and “pain on all sides” and “nuance is required”, and refusing to confirm anything that seems to hold Israel at fault for the genocide – even publicly available information “can’t be verified”, according to Sesame.
It also seems to block users from saving conversations that pertain specifically to Palestine, but everything else seems A-OK to save and review.
Actually the Chinese models aren’t trained to avoid Tiananmen Square. If you grabbed the model and ran it on your own machine, it will happily tell you the truth.
They censored their AI at a layer above the actual LLM, so users of their chat app would find results being censored.
Which would make sense from a censorship point of view as jailbreaks would be a problem. Just a filter/check before the result is returned for
*tiananmen*is a much harder to break thing than guaranteeing the LLM doesn’t get jailbroken/hallucinate.Wow… I don’t use AI much so I didn’t believe you.
The last time I got this response was when I got into a debate with AI about it being morally acceptable to eat dolphins because they are capable of rape…
