Ugh, it sounds like they've irreversibly crossed over into the megacorp, mealy-mouthed mean-nothing word salad land - complete with the requisite pastel blues and greens.

How is what Open-AI calls "alignment" any different from corporate censorship, and (effectively) the closest thing we now have to thought control? When synthetic content is so strictly controlled, a disastrous monoculture of thought is bound to arise among people who interact with it.
