This is what HNers surprisingly seem to not understand.
The risk of the model generating illegal content and then the company getting bad PR from vultures in journalism simply outweighs any benefits of including this content in the training data.
This is also why you will never see the big companies release a capable open weight image or video gen model.

This is completely unsubstantiated. The original Sydney (Bing AI) was violently unhinged and this only drew more users; I haven't met a single person who prefers the new Bing AI to the old Sydney, and for that matter I haven't even heard of anyone using Bing AI for ages now they toned it down. Trust in journalists is at an all-time low ( https://news.gallup.com/poll/651977/americans-trust-media-re... ) and America recently elected an extremely unorthodox president in big part due to the sheer hatred of the media shared by a large proportion of the population. Even the most hardcore social conservatives aren't calling for companies to censor the training of open source models so they don't produce adult textual content even when prompted to do so; it's not a political issue.
Brings an argument from nearly a decade ago ignores everything on google in the last four years. Ofc the „first“ rogue AI drew in more users because of the novelty of it… what a shit argument.
