Has AI become too "safe" to actually be useful for creative work?

Reddit r/artificial News

Summary

The article argues that overly safe and censored AI models hinder creative exploration, while open models offer more freedom for experimentation.

I’ve been noticing that the more aligned and censored the models get, the less useful they become for anything creative or exploratory. You try to push a prompt in a slightly edgy, honest, or unconventional direction and it either refuses or gives you some bland corporate version. It feels like the model is actively fighting against real creativity instead of helping it. I’ve started using more open models lately and the difference is night and day. Suddenly I can actually experiment without hitting a wall every five minutes. Anyone else feeling this?
