I am a little less free speech than Americans, in Germany we have serious limitations around hate speech and holicaust denial for example.

Putting thise restrictions into a tool like ChatGPT goes to far so, because so far AI still needs a prompt to do anything. The problem I see, is with ChatGPT, being trained on a lot hate speech or prpopagabda, slipts in those things even if not prompted to. Which, and I am by no means an AI expert not by far, seems to be a sub-problem of the hallucination problems of making stuff up.

Because we have to remind ourselves, AI so far is glorified mavhine learning creating content, it is not concient. But it can be used to create a lot of propaganda and deffamation content at unprecedented scale and speed. And that is the real problem.

Apologies this is very off topic, but I don't know anyone from Germany that I can ask and you opened the door a tiny bit by mentioning the holocaust :-)

I've been trying to really understand the situation and how Hitler was able to rise to power. The horrendous conditions placed on Germany after WWI and the Weimar Republic for example have really enlightened me.

Have you read any of the big books on the subject that you could recommend? I'm reading Ian Kershaw's two-part series on Hitler, and William Shirer's "Collapse of the Third Republic" and "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". Have you read any of those, or do you have books you would recommend?
