> Sure there might be some uproar if AI can paint a picture of mohammed

It can. He's swole AF.

(Though I'm pretty sure that was just Muhammad Ali in a turban.)

> People have been motivated by their last president to drink bleach and died - just accept that there are those kind of people and move on for the rest of us.

Need-to-know basis exists for a reason. You're not being creative enough if you think offending people is the worst possible misuse of AI.

People drinking bleach or refusing vaccines is a self-correcting problem, but the consequences of "forbidden knowledge" frequently get externalized. You don't want every embittered pissant out there to be able to autogenerate a manifesto, a shopping list for Radio Shack and a lesson plan for building an incendiary device in response to a negative performance review.

Right now it's all fun exercises like "how can I make a mixed drink from the ingredients I have," but eventually some enterprising terrorist will use an uncensored model trained on chemistry data...to assist in the thought exercise of how to improvise a peroxide-based explosive onboard an airplane, using fluids and volumes that won't arouse TSA suspicion.

Poison is the other fun one; the kids are desperate for that inheritance money. Just give it time.
