So what? Seriously, so what?

Look, you can open Word on your system and type all sorts of racist stuff. Should Word auto-detect that (maybe with the help of AI) and refuse to accept your input? I don't think many people would find that to be a good idea.

Another point: Individual users don't affect the knowledge base. LLMs are not like Tay, dynamically integrating user input. An LLM like ChatGPT may adapt within a particular conversation, but that affects literally no one but you.

We're already half way there. Google Docs now utilizes an "assistive writing" AI that displays warnings for words or phrases that are considered "non-inclusive".

I didn't want to know that. I did not want to know that.

You jest but please don't give any Microsoft employees gleaning this thread any great ideas to show off in their next product meeting.
