    to the extent that it doesn’t violate the law or other peoples’ rights

    Am I the only one who finds this so weird when we talk about LLMs? If someone makes a bot that resembles some specific person, that person’s rights aren’t really violated, and since they’re all fictional content, it is very hard to break actual laws through its content. At that point we would have to also ban people’s weird fan fiction, no?

    Not arguing about whatever they want or don’t want on their platform, but the legal & alleged moral questions / arguments always weird me out a bit, because there’s no one actually getting hurt in any sort of way by weirdos having weird chats with computers.

    The bigger issue is the enforcement. Either you monitor an absurd amount of content, which is worse for privacy, or you straight up censor the models, which makes them typically restrictive even in valid cases / scenarios being played out (other platforms went through this, with a consequential loss of users).
