While I agree no one is rewriting history, it is potentially a big deal because it speaks to the biases present when training/RLHF-ing. Considering this will be used by millions (if not tens of millions), calling it a “silly toy” feels off.

Bias in the model can lead to bad outcomes in certain situations (hint: we have an election coming up)

Yes this is innocuous, but it does hint at the possibility of more damaging bias being a possibility.
