Rohrer was also asked to insert an automated monitoring tool, which he refused.&lt;p&gt;Why is this article so vague, as are the Tweets by the project creator. What actually happened here, concretely?&lt;p&gt;What, specifically, did OpenAI want to &amp;#x27;dilute&amp;#x27; and how? What does the automated monitoring tool do? I expect a news article to explain these things.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>OpenAI Shuts Down Chatbot Project by Indie Developer</title><url>https://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/news/openai-chatbot-gpt-3-samantha-shut-down-dilute-jason-rohrer-possible-misuse-2537388</url></story>

If I understand correctly, the so called &amp;quot;censorship&amp;quot; were safety precautions for AI development.&lt;p&gt;The response of some posters seems to be to discard the safety topic alltogether as something &amp;quot;old&amp;quot;, that &amp;quot;neanderthals&amp;quot; do.&lt;p&gt;I think it is exactly those &amp;quot;curious&amp;quot; people AI research has to worry about most, who do not take the time to think about the consequences and possible outcomes of what they are doing.
Maybe a chatbot will not gain superpowers and take over the world, but it can surely do lots of other harm.
Then, when AI tech moves beyond narrow AI and includes more abilities, this will in fact lead to desaster, as the same careless people with the greatest &amp;quot;curiosity&amp;quot; will throw caution overboard as was the case with the narrow AI before...&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s not a slippery slope, we are right in the territory AI safety researchers warn about for a decade now, write lengthy books about and try to create awareness for in the public and governments.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>OpenAI Shuts Down Chatbot Project by Indie Developer</title><url>https://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/news/openai-chatbot-gpt-3-samantha-shut-down-dilute-jason-rohrer-possible-misuse-2537388</url></story>
