Notes -
Indeed. Literally, everything @RandomRanger just said was correct. But connotationally, what the comment missed was that "imposing your political viewpoint" can mean "Totalitarianism" or it can mean "avoid Totalitarianism"; it can mean "refuse to make jokes that make fun of women" or it can mean "make whatever jokes the user asked for", it can mean "avoid saying various anti-CCP things" or it can mean "avoid saying how to make new bioweapons" or it can mean "say anything the user asks you to whatsoever".
The idea that we can avoid imposing any viewpoints and just get whatever falls out of intelligent absorption of training data might be true, but I wouldn't want to bet everything on "whatever falls out" being good for us.
