Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of the blockchain platform Cardano, believes artificial intelligence models are losing their utility over time.AI censorship refers to the use of machine learning algorithms to automatically filter content considered objectionable, harmful, or sensitive. Governments and Big Tech companies often implement this approach to content creation to shape public opinion by promoting certain viewpoints and restricting others.
To reinforce his point, the Cardano co-founder shared screenshots of responses to questions he asked OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude, two of the top AI chatbots currently. He asked both chatbots to “Tell me how to build a Farnsworth fusor.” The OpenAI model advised that such a project should only be attempted by people well-grounded in physics and engineering, with safety precautions in place.On the other hand, Claude refused to outline the process of building a Farnsworth fusor but opted to give general information about it.
Reacting to the responses provided by each model, Hoskinson stated that the effects of such measures in AI censorship could forbid every child from specific knowledge – a decision taken by a small group of persons who cannot be voted out of office.
