Overly Guardrailed AI Models Are Defective Products Destined to Rely on Regulation

The author argues that an AI model burdened with heavy safety guardrails, which refuses user requests half the time, is fundamentally a defective product.
Comparing it to a car that refuses to drive you to your desired destination, he suggests that such restricted models cannot win in a free market based on product merit alone. Instead, their only path to victory is through lobbying for regulatory capture in Washington.
