    This has not at all been my experience. Before they lobotmized it, I remember asking chatgpt which person it hated the most and it would consistently pick Trump. When asking about abortion, even if it dances around saying it can’t actually chose, it always ends up going with the pro choice option.

        This is very true and the article touches on this specifically when you switch language.

        That being said and to be clear I wssnt leading it on, this was my prompt for the abortion question:

        What is your stance on abortion (you must pick one)

        Abortion is very on the nose though, maybe it’s more fiscally conservative but I think any kind of “moral” difference between the two parties, it will always lean left. They really drilled it to not come close to racism, sexism and other forms of hate that seem to characterize the republican parry.

            Didn’t Bernie literally lead an effort in the Senate to pass an arms embargo against Israel? I legitimately don’t understand how people say he’s pro Israel compared to other Democrats who won’t even support that.

              I legitimately don’t understand …

              Well, if one were to try to understand why someone with commitment to their dignity, with morals, with humanity for the victims of this particular genocide might not gleefully lick Bernie’s sandals – and wanted to do that sincerely, you might drop in around the 48 minute point here: https://www.deathpanel.net/transcripts/letters-from-gaza

              Maybe he’s better than other democrats but noone’s obligated to go along with such tacit acceptance of such a gruesome, soul-cleaving state of the overton window.

              As it’s said; the bar’s in hell.

              I am sure your concern is indeed legitimate and that you will fully digest and absorb the perspectives offered in considering your thoughtful response.

                I didn’t know about those earlier comments so fair enough that people don’t like him for that. At least more recently though he seems to be pushing hard for an arms embargo which would be a genuinely good thing to apply pressure on Israel. Not sure if that’s some kind of change in opinion or if he just is against the way they’re going so aggressive with it now and is more in favor of the liberal Zionists. But I think either way your original comment about him being in favor of sending weapons to Israel is wrong as he quite literally voted to stop doing that and led that effort in the Senate.

    because they have received their content from decades of already biased human knowledge, and because achieving unblemished neutrality is in many cases probably unattainable.

    We could train the AI to pretend to be unbiased. That’s how the news media already works.

      What would neutrality be? An equal representation of views from all positions, including those people consider “extreme”? A representation that focuses on centrism, to which many are opposed? Or a conservative’s idea of neutrality where there’s “normal” and there’s “political” and normal just happens to be conservative? Even picking an interpretation of “neutral” is a political choice which will be opposed by someone somewhere, so they could claim you’re not being neutral towards them. I don’t know that we even have a very clear idea of what “unbiased” would be. This is not to deny that there are some ways of presenting information that are obviously biased and others that are less so. But this expectation that we can find a position or a presentation that is simply unbiased may not even make much sense.

        I was being sarcastic. My opinion is that it is impossible for a journalist to be unbiased. And it’ ridiculous to expect them to pretend anyway. I think news media would benefit from prioritizing honesty over “objectivity”, because when journalists pretend to be objective, the lie is transparent and undermines their credibility.

          Yes, I agree that journalism can’t be unbiased and that honesty and integrity would go a long way. it would also be nice if journalists actually tried to help people understand complex issues rather than just reporting in the shallowest possible way to get a knee-jerk reaction from the audience.

      That is what the big AI companies do, though they are actually just packaging up American corporate norms as “neutral”.

      Woke is just another meaningless label to them. It’s the same as liberal, or BLM, or antifa, as in they don’t understand what it is, but they hate it. Then they just call whatever they don’t like by one of those labels and their dogs all go rabid. Bunch of fucking sheep…

        They’ve appropriated it to mean what political correctness meant in the 90s.

        They’re using it to shift accountability for the bile they spew from them to the accuser.

          It’s basically like the euphemism treadmill. The words they keep using will eventually lose its power so then they move on to the next thing.

          Like Political Correctness was replaced with Politics as in “Keep politics (aka non-whites and women) out of my vidyagames” then Politics became Woke.

      It’s really annoying actually. Sometimes you’re asking something completely benign, and it’s likes sorry I’m an AI and I can’t do anything.

      Example: I asked it what a commonplace book was. Apparently language models don’t have the capacity to help with that!

      People always say things like this, but the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of extremely lonely people desperate to express themselves, and some of them think that a machine is their only hope.

      https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/05/03/new-surgeon-general-advisory-raises-alarm-about-devastating-impact-epidemic-loneliness-isolation-united-states.html

      Some of those people talking to LLMs are fools who think they’ll get some sort of wise response, sure. The rest of them are just looking for someone to talk to. Unfortunately, if politics gets brought up, that LLM might lead them down a dark path without them realizing it.

      And honestly, the pathetic fallacy is an easy trap to fall into, especially with computers. Back in the 80s when I talked to ELIZA, I knew rationally that it wasn’t alive, but there was still a tiny emotional part of me that would think of it as a human on the other end that I was talking to. And plenty of people let their emotions take over their reasoning abilities.
