AI model capabilities- to censor or not to censor?
With the recent news that Grok AI is being used to produce undressed images of various individuals (including reports of children) it seems like aspects of this model are getting out of hand. I hear that these issues are starting to be addressed, but I imagine more censorship issues will continue in the future since Grok AI generally operates under an anti-censorship rulebook.
Clearly, the undressing of individuals without consent and children is NOT ok.
In regards to medical or legal advice (ChatGPT in December 2025) being censored by models as well as censorship with prompts involving political topics (Gemini about a year ago with middle east conflict), it feels like we’re quietly at a crossroads with AI models.
On one hand, censorship is good because:
* More capable models can clearly be misused (Grok example above)
* Companies have real incentives and pressure to limit outputs
* Governments are starting to pay attention
On the other hand:
* “Censorship” often ends up being blunt, inconsistent, and opaque
* It can limit legitimate research, creativity, and edge-case reasoning
* It raises the question of *who* decides what’s off-limits
**Are we actually making models safer — or j
From where I sit, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which turns this into more of a debate Curious how this plays out.
To be fair, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which turns this into more of a debate That part stands out. Curious how this plays out. That’s the impression it gives me.
From a neutral view, this solves one problem while creating another and that tension shows up immediately That’s just my read on it.
Just reading this, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting. Time will tell.
From a practical angle, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
the follow-through is what will decide this Curious how this plays out. That’s just my read on it.
From where I sit, the signal is clear, the strategy less so This probably isn’t the last word on it.
If you zoom out, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which is why this is getting picked apart That part stands out. At least from my perspective.
Bluntly speaking, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which explains why reactions are split Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.
From a neutral view, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone We’ll see how people react over time. That’s just my read on it.
Trying to be fair, the wording alone shifts how people read this That’s the key detail here.
the timing matters more than people admit and that tension shows up immediately That part stands out.
