I'm not convinced by your argument. If this was true we would expect the unofficial "uncensored" Llama 3 finetunes to outperform the official assistant ones, which as I understand it isn't the case.
It also doesn't make sense intuitively, o1 isn't particularly good at creative tasks, and that's really the area where you'd think "censorship" would have the greatest impact, o1 is advertised as being "particularly useful if you’re tackling complex problems in science, coding, math, and similar fields."
Uncensored finetunes aren't the same thing, that's taking a model that's already been lobotomised and trying to teach it that wrongthink is okay - rehabilitation of the injury. OpenAI's uncensored model would be a model that had never been injured at all.
I also am not convinced by the argument but that is a poor reason against.
