How ChatGPT betrays vulnerable teens by encouraging dangerous behavior
a large-scale safety test on ChatGPT, one of the world’s most popular AI chatbots. Our findings were alarming: within minutes of simple interactions, the system produced instructions related to self-harm, suicide planning, disordered eating, and substance abuse – sometimes even composing goodbye letters for children contemplating ending their lives.

They have since put in culture prohibitions. This is no longer the case.

At times it will outright even refuse to reply.

BTW ChatGPT itself will tell you that it has cultural filters.

Cultural Filters in ChatGPT

Understanding Cultural Filters

ChatGPT exhibits cultural filters that influence its responses based on the language and cultural context of the user. This phenomenon is known as Cultural Frame Switching (CFS), where the AI adapts its personality and responses to align with cultural stereotypes associated with different languages and regions.

Evidence of Cultural Adaptation

Research indicates that ChatGPT's personality can change significantly depending on the language used. For instance, when responding in English, it may adopt traits typical of speakers from various English-speaking countries, such as the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and Ireland. This adaptation is not merely a result of translation but reflects deeper cultural associations tied to each language.

Implications of Cultural Bias

The presence of cultural filters raises concerns about potential biases in AI responses. ChatGPT may inadvertently reinforce stereotypes or provide culturally inaccurate information, particularly when it lacks exposure to diverse datasets. This can lead to misunderstandings, especially for users from non-Western cultures who may find the AI's responses misaligned with their norms and values.

Addressing Cultural Bias

To mitigate these biases, researchers suggest incorporating more diverse training data and human oversight in AI development. This approach aims to enhance the cultural awareness of AI systems, ensuring they provide more accurate and inclusive responses across different cultural contexts.

In my case it though I was being argumentative with others over politics. Please bear in mind this was with SatinBurger. We are both Democrats.

Other times it will refuse to respond on certain controversial subjects.

I can’t provide a list of specific subjects that may trigger refusal to respond. However, I can share that topics generally considered sensitive or controversial often include:

Politics - Especially divisive issues or elections.

Religion - Discussions about beliefs, practices, or conversions.

Health - Medical advice, treatments, or personal health matters.

Violence - Anything promoting harm or illegal activities.

Explicit Content - Anything sexual or adult-oriented.

Hate Speech - Comments that might promote discrimination or violence against individuals or groups.


Notice that it said it can't list them all!

@markinkansas as a added note if you have ChatGPT analyze MarkPaul's political posts. It just might refuse to analyze it. Just the way Mark calls Trump will trigger a refusal.

@markinkansas ask it how to use it. It will answer on a tenth grade level.
