I guess I just don't understand this 'no rules' mentality. If you put a chatbot on the front page of your car dealership, do you really expect it to engage with you in a deep political conversation? Is there a difference in how you answer a question about vehicle specification based on whether you have a "right" or "left" lean?

Yes, that car dealership absolutely needs to censor its AI model. Same as if you blasted into a physical dealership screaming about <POLITICAL CANDIDATE> <YEAR>. They'll very quickly throw your butt out the door, and for good reason. Same happens if you're an employee of the car dealership and start shouting racial slurs at potential customers. I'm gonna say, you do that once, and you're out of a job. Did the business "censor" you for your bigoted speech? I think not...

The purpose of the car dealership is to make a profit for its owners. That is literally the definition of capitalism. How does some sort of "uncensored" LLM model achieve that goal?
