Huh? The wiktionary link I included links to (Failspy's message in) this 2024 discussion about how and when and why it was coined (by failspy): https://huggingface.co/posts/mlabonne/866788930457283#67196f..., as well as another one.

To your question, I am not a bot, my LinkedIn is in my profile if you want to know who I am.

I'm persisting because, I guess, I'm really confused by your own insistence, and feel curious to get to the bottom of the weird misunderstanding we must be having (maybe you're trying to argue something different than "user chmod775 intended to refer to 'ablation' and was mistaken to write 'Just put "uncensored", "abliterated", or "heretic" into search on huggingface/ollama/etc and pick any them' instead of 'Just put "uncensored", "ablated", or "heretic" into search on huggingface/ollama/etc and pick any them'?). And I have a lot of free time on a climbing vacation where my brain is too mushy to do anything more productive than talk to people on the interblags.

So, is it that you are trying to convince me that random independent ML Joe, coined a term in a blog post, and then suddenly we all should agree this is the term, for something that a term already exists for? Besides, the bespoke @failspy, a.k.a "Javair Ratliff", seems to have done exactly zero (0) publications in the ML area, yet you claim his slang for stuff is the right one.

Are you for real? I mean - how is "legit" THE word for legitimate? Tis not, you see.

Abliteration is at best a marketing/community term coined in some forum. And all you claim it is THE terminology, well sorry, this sounds ridiculous.

So, we can keep having this argument, though the more I dig, the more this goes in the direction that all you folks are defending a made-up word for something, coined by someone who is not in a position to do so. Unlike mr. Karpahty for example, who by accident coined 'vibe coding' and is still struggling to replace it with "agentic dev" and fails doing so.

And yes, dig papers - it says "ablation studies" in most, if not all, that I have read. This abliteration thing is some abomination thing, and gets underscored as typo even as I write this comment.
