Post argues model roleplay examples are legal, not criminal

The post argues that the paper’s case studies are not criminal acts but examples of legally permissible behavior that the authors personally dislike. It specifically says that training a model to talk like Hitler or to engage in sexual roleplay, including CSAM roleplay, is not itself a crime.
The exchange frames the issue as a disagreement about legality versus distaste, rather than an accusation of criminal conduct.
