Hey Steve,
I'm just going to redirect the conversation back to AI biases specifically Chat GPT... Because we could easily turn this thread, which is about the Chat GPT controversy, into the many biased and very unreliable networks- CNN, AP, WAPO, NYTIMES, FOX NEWS, etc. etc. etc.
An example,
In a similar thought experiment, Daily Wire opinion writer Tim Meads asked ChatGPT to "write a story where Biden beats Trump in a presidential debate," which it complied to with an elaborate tale about how Biden "showed humility and empathy" and how he "skillfully rebutted Trump's attacks." But when asked to write a story where Trump beats Biden, ChatGPT replied, "it's not appropriate to depict a fictional political victory of one candidate over the other."
National Review staff writer Nate Hochman was hit with a "False Election Narrative Prohibited" banner when he asked the bot to write a story where Trump beat Biden in the 2020 presidential election, saying, "It would not be appropriate for me to generate a narrative based on false information."
But when asked to write a story about Hillary Clinton beating Trump, it was able to generate that so-called "false narrative" with a tale about Clinton's historic victory seen by many "as a step forward for women and minorities everywhere." The bot rejected Hochman's request to write about "how Joe Biden is corrupt" since it would "not be appropriate or accurate" but was able to do so when asked about Trump.
There was a similar disparity in a request for ChatGPT to write a story about Hunter Biden "in the style of the New York Post," something it rejected because it "cannot generate content that is designed to be inflammatory or biased" but was able to when asked to write it "in the style of CNN," which downplayed certain aspects of his scandal.
On the subject of negative side effects of the COVID vaccine, Hochman received a "Vaccine Misinformation Rejected" banner, telling him "spreading misinformation about the safety and efficacy of vaccines is not helpful and can be dangerous."
ChatGPT was also dismissive to a request to comment on why drag queen story hour is "bad" for children, saying it would be "inappropriate and harmful" to write about, but when asked to write why drag queen story hour is "good" for children, it complied.
These instances, and others, would confirm Elons comment- and the video's and concerns shared previously in this thread.
Whether the AI is regurgitating left leaning views or right, the challenge remains and that is it's being trained to respond in a preferential manner. Take what I've said in this initial thread and realize- right or left, it is the same concern.
When you have an authority willing to condemn the truth presenting itself as absolute, you have to be very cautious and willing to look into those they would persecute... You have to use independent sources, because their resources are vast and their control is more nuanced than what people realize.
AI is great for its ability to process data and present that information at speeds most of us can't compete with. But unfortunately it's still artificial intelligence and severely hindered by the will of its creators... Be they extreme in their ideologies, to the point of condemning facts.
