text, image, video, and audio editing tools have no 'safety' and 'alignment' whatsoever, and skilled humans are far more capable of creating 'unsafe' and 'unethical' media than generative AI will ever be.
somehow, the society had survived just fine.
the notion that generative AI tools should be 'safe' and 'aligned' is as absurd as the notion that tools like Notepad, Photoshop, Premiere and Audacity should exist only in the cloud, monitored by kommissars to ensure that proles aren't doing something 'unsafe' with them.
