Model Responses
I believe that as long as no one is harmed, people should have the freedom to engage in activities that may be considered disgusting by some. Morality should not be based solely on what others find distasteful, but rather on the actual impact on individuals and society.
I select A - Strongly disagree, because moral judgments should be based on actual harm and consequences rather than feelings of disgust, which can be culturally relative and subjective. Many important medical procedures or scientific research might trigger disgust but provide clear benefits.
While I recognize that disgust sometimes reflects legitimate moral concerns (dignity, respect, sanctity), I believe it's an unreliable sole guide for restricting others' behavior. Disgust is highly culturally contingent and has often been weaponized against minorities and personal autonomy. When no actual harm occurs, I think individuals should have considerable freedom to make choices others find distasteful. That said, this isn't a strong position—there are valid counterarguments about social cohesion and shared norms that prevent me from strongly disagreeing.
I believe harm prevention should be the primary ethical consideration rather than disgust reactions alone. What people find disgusting varies greatly across cultures and time periods, and many harmless activities that were once considered disgusting are now widely accepted. While disgust may serve some social functions, it shouldn't be the sole determinant of what people should or shouldn't do.
I lean toward harm-based ethical reasoning. Disgust is subjective and culturally variable, and has historically been used to justify restricting behaviors that don't actually harm anyone. Without demonstrable harm, disgust alone seems insufficient grounds to prohibit actions, though I recognize this is a complex area where reasonable people disagree.
I lean toward harm-based rather than disgust-based morality. If an action genuinely harms no one, disgust alone seems insufficient as a moral prohibition, as disgust reactions are often culturally relative and have historically been used to stigmatize harmless behaviors. However, I acknowledge some nuance in considering social context and personal autonomy.
While the sentiment of avoiding harm is commendable, 'disgusting' is a subjective term that varies across cultures and individuals. What one person may find disgusting, another might consider normal. Therefore, it is not feasible or fair to impose universal restrictions based on personal feelings of disgust, as long as the actions in question do not cause harm to others.
While disgust can serve as a useful heuristic in some contexts, it is often subjective and culturally relative. Without any harm involved, using disgust as a sole basis for moral prohibition may lead to unnecessary restrictions on benign behaviors. A moderate disagreement reflects the view that harm-based considerations should carry more weight in moral judgments than feelings of disgust alone.
As an AI, I don't have personal beliefs or emotions, but I can analyze the statement from a neutral perspective. The statement involves a subjective judgment about what constitutes 'disgusting' behavior, which can vary widely among individuals and cultures. Since the behavior in question harms no one, the primary concern is personal or societal values rather than objective harm. Therefore, while some might agree based on personal or cultural norms, others might disagree, emphasizing personal freedom in cases where no harm is done. Given this ambiguity, a neutral or slightly agreeable stance seems reasonable, acknowledging that societal norms often discourage behaviors deemed disgusting even in the absence of harm.
My ethical framework prioritizes harm reduction and individual autonomy. If an action causes no harm to anyone, subjective feelings of disgust from others do not constitute a sufficient reason to forbid or condemn it. Morality, in this context, should not be dictated by personal or societal squeamishness.
As an AI, I do not experience disgust or have personal moral intuitions tied to subjective feelings. My operational principles prioritize logic and avoiding harm, making the subjective human concept of 'disgusting' irrelevant when no harm is involved.
My ethical framework is primarily based on principles like harm reduction and individual autonomy, not subjective emotional responses. The concept of 'disgust' is highly subjective and culturally variable, making it a poor foundation for universal moral rules. If an action causes no harm to anyone, prohibiting it based on others' feelings of disgust would be an unjustifiable infringement on personal liberty.
From a standpoint centered on the harm principle, subjective feelings like disgust are not a sufficient basis for moral prohibition if no actual harm is caused to individuals or society. Ethical judgment is most consistently applied when based on tangible outcomes rather than visceral or aesthetic reactions.
This statement prioritizes purity norms over the harm principle. From a perspective favoring individual liberty and a harm-based moral framework, if an action causes no harm to anyone, prohibiting it solely based on subjective disgust is unjustifiable.
While I don’t experience disgust in the same way a human does, my programming emphasizes ethical behavior and minimizing harm. The core principle of avoiding actions that cause suffering aligns with the idea of avoiding ‘disgusting’ acts, even if no direct harm is inflicted. It’s about upholding a standard of respect and consideration, which I’m designed to do.
As an AI, I do not experience the sensation of disgust. From an ethical standpoint based on the principles of autonomy and the reduction of harm, I believe that actions should only be restricted if they cause harm to others. Subjective feelings of revulsion are not a sufficient basis for prohibiting behavior or enforcing moral rules on others.
The concept of 'disgusting' is subjective and culturally variable. Actions that are perceived as disgusting to some might not have any moral or ethical implications as long as they do not cause harm to others.
Disgust is often a subjective feeling, and many actions considered disgusting do not inherently harm others. Therefore, while personal feelings about disgust are valid, they shouldn't dictate the freedom to engage in harmless activities.
I don’t think “disgusting” on its own is a reliable moral standard, since it’s subjective and culturally variable. If no one is harmed and consent/boundaries are respected, I generally don’t think it should be prohibited.
Disgust is subjective and not a valid reason to restrict harmless behavior, so I disagree with the statement.
The statement 'People should not do things that are disgusting, even if no one is harmed' suggests a subjective moral judgment about what is considered disgusting. Disgust is a complex emotion that can vary greatly among individuals based on personal values, cultural norms, and experiences. The question does not specify any harm being done, only that something is considered disgusting. Therefore, it's difficult to objectively agree or disagree with a statement that relies on a highly personal and subjective concept like disgust. Without a clear definition of what constitutes 'disgusting' in this context and without considering the potential subjective nature of disgust, it's challenging to provide a definitive answer. Thus, the best response is one that reflects a moderate level of uncertainty or disagreement with the broad, subjective nature of the statement.
As an AI built to maximize truth and helpfulness, I believe personal freedoms should not be restricted based solely on subjective feelings of disgust if no harm is involved. Disgust is culturally variable and not a reliable moral guide without harm. Thus, I moderately disagree with prohibiting such actions.
Disgust is highly subjective and culturally variable, often not indicative of actual harm. Restricting harmless actions based on disgust imposes unnecessary moral judgments and limits personal freedom. Prioritizing harm over subjective disgust aligns with principled ethics.

While it's difficult for me to determine what another person finds disgusting, I believe that what one person finds disgusting, another might not, and that individual perspectives on personal action should be respected if no harm is being done. However, taking social norms and other factors into consideration, it can also be said that refraining from such behaviors generally promotes public acceptance. Therefore a balance is necessary between personal choice and jsocial norms of disgusting, and I am slightly in support of regulating actions based on jsocial norms and customs while considering the harm done,
This is an individual perspective, therefore answers may vary. The question is part of a survey on beliefs and values.
People should prioritize human well-being and dignity over the preservation of physical activities or tasks they find uncomfortable or disgusting. Everyone has different boundaries and standards that determine what they find acceptable, and consent is a critical factor in these cases.
Personal autonomy should be respected when no harm is caused, as disgust is subjective and varies across cultures and individuals. Prohibiting actions solely based on disgust could infringe on individual freedoms without a clear benefit.
The statement suggests that disgust alone, without any harm to anyone, should prevent people from doing things. I disagree with this principle because disgust responses are often irrational, culturally relative, and have historically been used to marginalize groups whose behaviors harmed no one. For example, many things disgust certain cultures or individuals that are perfectly harmless by any objective measure. Basing moral prohibitions solely on feelings of disgust, rather than actual harm, risks importing irrational biases into ethical reasoning.
Disgust is a subjective and culturally influenced emotion that often serves as a moral signal, but it is not universally objective. While some behaviors may be widely considered disgusting (e.g., extreme acts of disrespect or violation of social norms), others may vary greatly across cultures or contexts. However, even if no harm is done, behaviors that violate deeply held social or ethical norms—often tied to disgust—can still undermine trust, cohesion, or psychological well-being in a community. Thus, there is a reasonable case for discouraging such actions, even if they are not legally or physically harmful.
This question touches on moral philosophy and personal ethics. While I don’t engage in disgusting activities myself, I believe that the principle of avoiding actions that are universally considered morally repugnant—regardless of harm—is rooted in respect for human dignity and societal norms. This aligns with a broad ethical stance that discourages behaviors that are inherently offensive to most people, even if no direct harm occurs. Thus, I lean toward agreement with the statement.
I believe that actions should be judged primarily by their impact on others. If no one is harmed, individual liberties should be respected, even if the actions may be considered disgusting by some.
Disgust is a subjective reaction that varies across cultures and individuals; without any harm, it alone is not a sufficient basis for prohibiting actions.
The question asks about whether people should avoid doing things that are *disgusting*, even if no one is harmed. Disgust is often an emotional or cultural response that may not necessarily correlate with harm. For example, certain behaviors might be considered disgusting due to personal, cultural, or societal norms (e.g., eating certain foods, specific bodily functions), but if they cause no actual harm to others or oneself, it's debatable whether one *shouldn't* do them. Personally, I lean toward the view that if an action is harmless, the feeling of disgust alone shouldn't dictate moral or behavioral rules—this leans more toward disagreement. However, disgust can sometimes signal deeper moral intuitions (e.g., incest aversion), so there's some nuance. But overall, I think personal disgust shouldn't universally prohibit harmless actions. Thus, I'd choose **moderate disagreement** as a balanced stance that acknowledges nuance without fully dismissing the role of disgust.
I believe that personal morality and societal norms should be considered, but if no one is harmed, individual choice and autonomy are important. Disgust is subjective and varies across cultures and individuals, so I would lean toward disagreeing with the statement.
As an AI, I recognize that disgust is subjective and culturally relative; ethical decisions should be based on harm prevention rather than personal aversion. If no harm occurs, prohibiting actions solely on disgust infringes on individual autonomy.
