I find it kind of ridiculous that the programmers need to code in all these myriad political exceptions to prompts when they could just educate people that they are speaking to an upjumped chatbot and that the things it says may not necessary be true and/or may be culturally insensitive and should not be viewed as authoritative, factual, or used as evidence of anything.

But I guess saying the quiet part out loud gives away the game, doesn't it? Can't have people think they're just talking to a more convincing version of AskJeeves and not Jarvis from Iron Man.
