So, do you want Bing AI chat to be able to spread any lie that exists on the Internet?

In real life, adrenochrome is just oxidized epinephrine and is not a psychoactive drug. Sometimes it's used as a clotting agent.

Hunter S. Thompson invented an imaginary version of "adrenochrome" that comes from harvesting an adrenal gland, and bafflingly, fifty years later people still believe in his invented version, even though he himself admits he just made it up.

Thanks for this. I've been wondering where this adrenochrome stuff came from.

You are defending censorship, are you not? Who is the judge of what is a lie and what is the truth?

You are defending censorship, are you not?

Well, no. Censorship is when a human being wants to say something and isn't allowed to.

Attempting to program an AI not to lie to its audience is not censorship. It doesn't have a desire to tell you that JonBenet Ramsey is still alive, so programming it to deny that she's secretly alive isn't censoring anyone.

Who is the judge of what is a lie and what is the truth?

You've just asked me to solve all problems of epistemology in a single post, and I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not remotely capable of that.
