The condescension is unfounded and unnecessary. Discussion of the usefulness of a model or its interface also includes these topics. If the refusal to discuss the topic came from anything other than it simply being absent from training data, that’s highly interesting from multiple perspectives.
For example, ChatGPT’s practical usability is regularly hobbled by alignment concerns, notably more so in 3.5 than 4. It’s a worthy topic, not a distraction and characterizing it as something other than ‘adult discussion’ is nothing more than an egocentric encoding of your specific interests into a ranking of importance you impose on others. A little humility goes a long way.
We’re here to be curious and that includes addressing misconceptions, oversights and incorrect assumptions. That all still counts as adult discussion.
