Summary

A user expresses concern that current AI models have become less creative and more corporate-sounding due to safety guardrails, contrasting them with earlier open models that were more imaginative.

after the massive improvement in coding models I feel like creative models have regressed and become way more corporate sounding. When I try to ask for ideas or even simple titles for things I find the lists very unimaginative and rarely something I havent already considered. creative writing and plot type questions are also super pedestrian and dull. considering these models have been trained on so much literature I rarely get surprised by any ideas coming from a model. Was it always like this? I know people have said conversation models were way batter in the early days, but i never really went down a rabbit hole with those. I sorta regret not playing with them during that window. Do you think we will ever get back to the more creative open models? Or will they always be considered too dangerous?
