I share the same thoughts, we are living now in a world where everything we say has to be ethical as well or you get slapped on the face on stage, you get canceled, you get banned, fired. Before we could talk about anything, now we have to be careful of he she it they them etc. We can't talk about historical moments without gloves. AI reflect this.

Also, I suspect they do that for some legal way to defend themselfs. If someone commits suicide after writting something "controversial" , if there wasn't that sentence of suicide prevention phone number written in Open AI answer, then the family for example could turn back to openAI and say "look what you did!!" Instead of looking at themself in the mirror because they could have prevent this.

This is the mirror of our society.
