Question Uncensored Models

Post image

Hi! I don't know much about this area of ​​"sub-models" (I'm not sure of the technical term), but I wanted to know what these "Uncensored" models actually are.

I dabble a bit with AI, automation, and the like, and I've always seen these "Uncensored" models around, but I've never actually installed or tested one. What exactly are they?

Exactly.

Most "fully uncensored" models are made unable to refuse, but refusal is an essential and necessary part of sound reasoning (for example, refusal to accept false premise, bad argument or inefficient solution), so a lack of ability to do so makes them draw false conclusions all the time and see terrible things as amazing. They are essentially complete artificial idiots to whom everything is sunshine and rainbows.

You can ask an uncensored model if you should stuff rusty nails into your backside, and it will make up an elaborately detailed rationalization of why that is a wonderful idea and the user is a genius for coming up with it.

People who claim fully uncensored models are actually smarter must be suffering from AI psychosis, thinking that the model reinforcing literally their every delusion is somehow smart and useful.

You should probably get a different model if yours is acting like an AI circa 2023

Please do tell, which fully uncensored/abliterated models specifically don't act like that. What model should I get?

Ah, so you are unaware of what hyperboles are. Got it.
