Graphic violence, viral challenges that could encourage risky behavior, sexual, romantic or violent roleplay, depictions of self-harm and content that promotes things like body shaming. Now these are things that some people would say it's not healthy for anyone to be engaging with AI about, but that's maybe slightly short-sighted because people are using AI for nuanced things, to write fiction, you know.

And if you put too many restrictions in, it can start misinterpreting perfectly innocent requests, you know, write a chapter about a fight or something, as you doing violent content and therefore blocking it. So this is the battle chat GPT has to strike, right? On one hand...

Domestic flights from Taiwan's main island to these offshore islands have been cancelled.

Around 6,000 passengers were inconvenienced because of that.

The Taiwanese government has said that this is potentially illegal because of all those disruptions.

That said, people know it's only going on for a couple of days and they'll get on with their lives.

However, there will be some in Taiwan who would be worried that
