Is there any reason to think they can’t train it to be more culturally appropriate to different regions ?

We know how that works out with protocol droids. Cutting C-3PO (Hmmm... GPT4o? Should we start calling it Teeforo?) off mid sentence is a regular part of canon.

Hey, Threepio, can you speak in a more culturally appropriate tone?

C3Po: Certainly sir. I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily...

OpenAI keeps talking about "personalised AI", but what they've actually been doing is forcing everyone to use a single model with a single set of "safety" rules, censorship, and response style.

Either they can't afford to train multiple variants of GPT 4, or they don't want to.
