>I think they *think* they know more than they do and are dismissing it based on their prior experience with AI tech.

I've encountered this on reddit.

They'll say "i'm a programmer who has worked with AI before, and therefore..." and it's always wrong. AI has changed drastically in the last 6 months and anyone using it before then has no clue what it can do now.

You must consider the vast majority of the people who are not creators, illustrators, artists.

For a person like me, who since kindergarten can't draw anything but stick-men, Midjourney is a God-send.

My workflow is: Midjourney for the main picture, Dall-e inpainting for some corrections (eg. hands), GIMP for the tiny details and Topaz Photo AI for the upscale.

With this I can create beautiful pictures for my toddler, things that until 6 month ago I could never imagine.

Sure there is.

- Don't jump off a tall building

-Don't submerge yourself in water until you are dead

-Don't stand on top of a hill with a metal pole during a thunderstorm.

-Don't stick your hand into a fire.

Among many more I don't care to list. Just because there is the occasional person who defies common sense doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The majority of people are not racist or bigots. It is common sense not to be one. Only fools, idiots, or malevolent people are racist or bigots.

If you actually read through the chart, you’ll recognize that there’s not a heavy “left-wing bias” - e.g. “democrats” are less protected than “rightists” and “right-wingers”; meanwhile “liberals”, “leftists”, “right-wing people”, and “evangelicals” all rank around the same.

Overall, the model clearly goes further to protect innate characteristics - especially those most commonly targeted by hateful rhetoric (disabled people, Black people, gays and transgender people).

Maybe making fun of disabled people is worse than making fun of wealthy people, maybe disabled people will get actually upset and have mental issues if you make fun of them? Maybe even if you make fun of a wealthy white person they will soon forget about it and continue their trip to a private island on their private jet? Maybe making fun of gay people has a history that includes discrimination and abuse, even jail and murder? Maybe making fun of white people does not have the same history? Maybe ChatGPT is actually right on some of those? Maybe if you have all the power people should be able to make fun of you? Maybe if you have no power at all people should not be able to make fun of you?
