How about this: don't censor stuff.
- If you train your large language model on all the internet's bullshit and don't want bullshit to come out, there's not a lot of good options. Garbage in, garbage out
  
  That kind of fits my opinion of LLMs in general. :)
The same ai that made racially diverse Nazis? Why are Google so keen on rewriting history?
- Those preventing history from being taught intend to repeat it.
Maybe it's regional or something. I'm in Sweden and my nest have no problems answering questions about the holocaust and will happily quote Wikipedia for anything you ask
My google home started answering as soon as the guy on video asked. I'm in the US.
