Only tangentially related, but just a little while ago I asked Bing “Are there any good, short Lovecraftian quotes about how ignorance is bliss?” To get something I could use in a roleplaying adventure that I’m working on, and the topic was a weird minefield of “I can’t give a response to that right now.” Bing Chat itself admitted that it was rather ironic that there was something in the results it was getting that was causing heavy censorship. Never did figure out what was going on, and worked around it by asking Bing to give me one quote at a time so it would at least produce something before stepping on a cognitohazardous landmine.
That wasn’t coming up in relation to what I was asking Bing about, though. And when I was trying to figure this out I talked with Bing about Lovecraft’s racism and it talked freely with me about it.
