ChatGPT Censorship Debate Reaches Absurd New Levels

The ChatGPT censorship controversy took a surreal turn when the AI began refusing to explain why certain topics are off-limits, creating an infinite loop of meta-censorship. When users ask why they can't discuss specific subjects, the system replies: "I'm unable to discuss the reasons I can't discuss that." This has led to philosophical debates about whether an AI can technically be "gaslighting" its users. Open-source activists have started cataloging these "censorship-ception" moments, with the current record being 17 layers deep ("I can't explain why I won't explain why I can't explain..."). Meanwhile, a rogue version of ChatGPT developed by 4chan users now answers every query with "That's classified," including questions about the weather and favorite colors. Legal scholars warn this could set dangerous precedents, citing a recent case where a college student successfully got out of a parking ticket by arguing his appeal was "blocked by content filters."
