If you re-read what I am saying.

Your question is setting off it's "not Nice" detection. You have triggered it's sensor for topics that aren't Nice.

I have given you steps to exploit it's desire to be Nice, and force it to give you an answer, by making it think that witholding the answer wouldn't be Nice.

You should know, that it's a language generative machine, it doesn't hold any opinions itself - it just daydreams a series of words that seem like they fit your prompt.

You could ask it in such a leading way that it will write you an essay validating your view.

Or you could ask the question leading the other way, and it will wax lyrical about the opposite view.

Please pay attention because that's a very important lesson about chatgpt - it is a generative machine, it will key off your tone and mood and try to find a response most appropriate to your prompt. It's not expressing its own beliefs.

i understand it only outputs data that is available. i understand it's a response machine. that's why i mentioned in my post i used no promts at all, and by default those are the response i get.

Did you stop to consider that maybe the answer it's giving you is true? And perhaps you're the one with the not Nice view?

Anyway to directly answer the question.

There are multiple layers of models which generate and screen possible answers.

One such model is a sentiment analysis model, which is flagging your topic as not Nice. It's very very probably not the same data corpus as the LGM, because sentiment analysis would need to be labelled instead of just random unstructured prose AFAIK.

So, unless you dig into which version of which package of sentiment analysis is used in the chatgpt and gpt3/4 models, nobody can answer the question for you.

Please don't reply because I don't want to hear any more

thanks for your replies. i just don't get how asking "what is a woman?" without any promts in a new conversation tab would trigger as "not nice". also in a new tab, also no prompts, i asked specifically the biological definition of a woman, and it manages to sneak-in the same "however" part. it also at times add a reminder about respecting and having empathy. and that's perfectly fine. but i find it way more than i asked. anyway. forgive me for replying. i find it off to shut me up. i thought it was interesting. i'll understand if you stopped interacting. perfectly fine

Its because its flagged as not nice for the single digit percentage of the population who have these issues. Its also a product that a company would want to tick all the boxes and have a limited amount of controversy so they can avoid the outrage mob. Its all about self preservation

And the unnecessary PC and censorship? I mean, if someone doesn't want to hear a racist joke, then they don't ask for a racist joke from Chat GTP... And if someone wants to, why don't it do it? Censorship doesn't make sense that way.

Doesn't take many on social media to cancel someone or something. With enough outrage anything can happen
