      If you train your large language model on all the internet’s bullshit and don’t want bullshit to come out, there’s not a lot of good options. Garbage in, garbage out

          Then you should say that instead of a reductive “don’t censor”. Censorship is important because you want to avoid false and harmful statements.

                Definition:

                objectionable: undesirable, offensive

                Yes, false information is technically undesirable, but that’s not really what that word is trying to convey. The goal should be accurate information, not agreeable information. If the truth is objectionable/offensive, it should still be easily findable.
