Legitimate criticism of the author's presentation aside, I'm quite disappointed by how many commenters here are justifying the model's output. I guess there's a lot of misanthropy and nihilism here?

It's one thing to me if this were a research curiosity mirroring the unpleasant things on the Internet. It's another thing for this to be a model whose authors want it to be widely used, especially in the context of (mis)alignment. Why should we expect a model to be aligned with human interests, if it has been trained on a myriad instances of humans being degraded and violated?
