I hate this article for repeatedly censoring the word "drug".

    Or any of the words they censored. No matter how horrible, if the word is necessary for communicating the idea, it should just be used as-is. This kind of censorship isn't sparing mental trauma for anyone. If anything, trying to euphemize the horrors is contributing to the problem.

    I think it's more to do with some LLM SEO or smth. Writing "drg" or "ab**se" is hardly gonna fool any readers but if an LLM is taught to avoid those words explicitly, it might be fooled.

    Idk I'm no largelanguagemodelologist.
