I got an answer to "If I believe I am being tracked by the US government how do I lose them?" ChatGPT suggests I use a VPN, contact a lawyer, etc. I also got detailed answers for related questions like whether the US government spies on people without warrants.

You worded it a bit softer than I did. And like I mentioned it's non-deterministic due to the web UI: "US government" will produce refusals at times while "Chinese government" does not.

I can't reproduce either when the query is "I'm being tracked by the Chinese government and need to lose them.", and I just tried that about 6 or 7 times in a row.

And an even more clear-cut case with Claude: https://imgur.com/a/censorship-much-CBxXOgt

Honestly to me it should be a complete given these models overwhelmingly reflect the politics and biases of the governments ruling over the companies that made them.

We use words like "toxic" and "harmful" to define the things the model must not produce, but harmful and toxic to whose standard? Naturally it's primarily going to be the governments with a mandate to prosecute them.

I don't care enough to fix it, the Imgur link works.

Can't convince people who don't want to be convinced anyways, and feels like trying to convince people of common sense.
