Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

the company’s “uncensored” AI will gladly help users make a plot for global Aryan domination.

If it's truly uncensored then it should help you plot what ever you like. You should be also able to ask it to plan for the extermination of every single nazi on the planet and if it refuses to do so then by definition it's not uncensored.

The "Uncle A" chatbot is a whole different story as it's programmed to be biased but a true uncensored AI is just a tool. Questionable one but it's not good or bad in itself. It depends what you use it for. A hammer can be used to build a house or you can hit yourself in the head with it.

True. The right-wing people also like to talk about free-speech, but love to ban books from schools and stop everyone who has a different oppinion from being able to speak. I don't think they know what 'unsensored' or 'freedom' means.

And those proper Neo-Nazis don't seem to know much about the world and reality at all. But obviously they now figured out how to use chatbots.

Very few people apply the same standards to themselves as they do to others. I think bibles should be "banned" from schools aswell so I can't really blame them for wanting to do the same for stuff about CRT or such. When ever one side takes something to the extreme there's more often than not a similar but opposite example to be found on the opposing side. We're all nuts, some just more than others.

That's it. But I'd like to mention there is no other extreme. There's only one side that wants to ban books.

(And while not everyone does this, there are quite some people who apply the same standards to themselves as they do to other people. And it's more common amongst people who are less conservative.)

I don't think they're trying to prevent anyone from accessing these books at all, they just don't want those to be used in the school curriculumn. It's not quite compareable to the examples from history where books were being banned and burned so that no one could read them.

I'm not from the USA so my opinion doesn't really count and I might not have all the facts. Afaik this is state legislation and not every state has Ron DeSantis at the top. But all I ever read is they're trying to ban things from the curriculum for political reasons and trying to make access to information difficult by also removing them from school libraries and inventing rules that are so unspecific that it gets staff into legal troubles.

But my perspective and whatever news makes it across the atlantic might not be entirely objective. I personally think once too much politics and religion gets involved in education and the curriculum, the whole thing becomes undemocratic and less free. And just theoretical access to information isn't enough. You have to actually teach and learn it. And learn about different perspectives and approaces to life.
