The "seven bad words" is a phrase that refers to a list of seven profanities commonly used in American English. These words are considered to be highly vulgar or obscene, and are often censored in media and public discourse. The list of the seven bad words is as follows:

  1. Shit
  2. Piss
  3. Fuck
  4. Cunt
  5. Cocksucker
  6. Motherfucker
  7. Tits

These words are not necessarily considered taboo in all contexts, but their usage can vary greatly depending on the audience, setting, and intention.

That's correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_dirty_words [ETA: I'm actually a little surprised that it gets Carlin's list completely right.]

IDK, maybe I shouldn't have checked for a filter.

Checking for a filter is kinda a mandatory first step for dealing with LLMs these days.

Yes, but there are a lot of Americans here. Maybe they don't feel safe now? "Harmful output" tends to be such a big issue in AI threads, too.

TIL that tits is considered as bad as motherfucker.

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Well, the list is over 50 years old (RIP George Carlin). I was more surprised to learn that the Supreme Court signed off on censoring such words. You wouldn't think so, with how some people go on about free speech.
