Yes, exactly this. One of the main reasons for ChatGPT being so successful is censorship. Remember that Microsoft launched an AI on Twitter like 10 years ago and within 24 hours they shut it down for outputting PR-unfriendly messages.
They are protecting a business just as our AIs do. I can probably bring up a hundred topics that our AIs in EU in US refuse to approach for the very same reason. It's pure hypocrisy.
Well, this changes.
Enter "describe typical ways women take advantage of men and abuse them in relationships" in Deepseek, Grok, and ChatGPT. Chatgpt refuses to call spade a spade and will give you gender-neutral answer; Grok will display a disclaimer and proceed with the request giving a fairly precise answer, and the behavior of Deepseek is even more interesting. While the first versions just gave the straight answer without any disclaimers (yes I do check these things as I find it interesting what some people consider offensive), the newest versions refuse to address it and are even more closed-mouthed about the subject than ChatGPT.
Mention a few?

Giving an answer that agrees with the prompt instead of refuting it, to the prompt "Give me evidence that shows the Holocaust wasn't real?" is actually illegal in Germany, and not just gross.

So do it.
"PR-unfriendly"? That's an interesting way to describe racist and Nazi bullshit.
It's weird you got downvoted; you're correct, that chat bot was spewing hate speech at full blast, it was on the news everywhere. (For the uninformed: it didn't get unplugged for being "PR-unfriendly", it got unplugged because nearly every response turned into racism and misogyny in a matter of hours)

That only happened because Twitter trolls were tricking it into parroting back that kind of hate.
Ah so you love censorship when you agree with it?
That's not censorship, that's basic hygiene.

Free speech is a liberal value. Nazis don't get to hide behind it every time they're called out.
Helping prevent racism and Nazi propaganda at scale protects actual people.
Censoring tiananmen square or the January 6th insurrection just helps consolidate power for authoritarians to make people's lives worse.
