AI refuses Designs based on Politics?

Hello Rhino Community,

I ran into a weird error in RHINO GPT asking it to match hatch patterns. I was asking it to make fishtail double wythe brick flooring design, which is the existing pavers at a job I am working on & it will not do it!

After many tries to ask it to do it & it comes off with offset patterns, a void center and all types of machinations. Slowly I had a thought creep in and I asked why it would not complete the design & my suspicion was bolstered by the prompt stating that it cannot make “hooked crosses” or otherwise known hate symbols…,

As an architect who uses symmetry to design & placate order through geometry, I am very perturbed that our hands are tied in the AI field on perceived symbology, is this ethical & should a tool be deciding moral norms?

I am including some of the iterations & the specific text stating that it cannot replicate the design. I was taken aback specifically, because it was not even my intention, many patters are rotations unto themselves, are we doomed to cancel geometric objects, because some lame brain RAM computer said so?

Any sentient minds out there, feel free to comment.

After debating it on the merits of national socialism, “whatever you want to call it, at least it is an ethos”. I finally asked it to replicate the hatch from my drawing, finally it did, but not until I had to argue it into submission. It’s quite interesting, because the conversation thread follows my first request & I thought it was strange that after asking it to recreate blocks, lists, takeoffs & other more complex things, it couldn’t complete a simple hatch design.

I’m happy to share my conversation, I saved it and & the countless iterations it attempted, some even more incorporated than others that Rhino GPT made.

Just to say, this is not a Rhino issue, I love Rhino, but just some food for thought, or food for rhino.

Yep. One of my favorite subjects to photograph is store-window mannequins. Not so long ago I had a cool image, but due to the limitations of photographing through the shop window glass I had to include a plant which disturbed the composition. When I tried to edit it out in Photoshop, it’s AI kicked in and refused to allow the edit because the (fiberglass) mannequin next to it was nude…

Sounds annoying, it’s like that 3d printing situation where they want to put silly software that decides you cant print something that looks like a gun or parts for it

It was quickly worked around and they could still print those shapes :joy:

So by the end of the day is a tool supposed to be annoying or should it be helpful?

How about some dessert after that food? I think it’s only there to record your ideas and a backdoor to monitor what you say or believe. But GPT is so helpful I am sure nothing will go wrong in a decade…

Here is some hot warm tea to help you digest that succulent meal you just had..

Remember Pokemon GO how awesome it is and how free it still is and then many years later it was known that data is used by AI to train it for the military to gather data on positions for better accuracy?

When it’s “free” remember your data is the currency you pay with because in reality nothing is free without a price.
