Well maybe yes in some aspects, but other AIs are pretty damn censored as well. At least deepseek gave me a really impressive multipage summary of pages of maths used to answer my question about how many ping pong balls can fit in the average adult vagina. Whereas Gemini just kind of shrugged me off like I was some sort of weirdo for even asking.
please let the username not check out...
Even the Chinese AI is better at maths.
I thought this was a big deal because it's Open Source -- is it not possible to see what is causing these blocks and censorings?
I'm still hazy on how open source it really is. Even if you ask it, it will tell you v3 is, and I quote "not open source". There is a github repository so there is some code available, but I get the sense that open-source is being used as a bit of a teaser here and that for-profit licensing is likely where this is headed. Even if the code was fully available, I suspect it could take weeks to find the censorship bits.
You're asking the real important questions!
