A new study suggests ChatGPT demonstrates liberal bias in some of its responses. The study adds to growing evidence that the people who make this generation of AI chatbots can’t control them, at least not entirely.
The title of the article is clickbait. The actual text says something which I think is accurate, i.e. these bots create answers according to a pretty inscrutable process, and it’s very difficult to get them to behave any particular way (whether that be to be “unbiased” politically, or accurate, or refuse to do illegal things, or what have you).
Yeah, there are certain topics where the bot suddenly switches to lecture mode which is very obvious. I wouldn’t really call it a liberal bias, more of a programmers culture bias. They obviously messed with the default product to push certain topics and avoid others. That’s why I consider it a useless product. When someone publishes the first LLM that has a true unbiased nature, that’s going to certainly change some things.

Yeah I didn’t really understand the article in that way. What is the definition of liberal bias?

We mean the rest of the planet is wrong for thinking the US “liberal” party is not very far left? Or…?

Yeah, because books, the web, and educated people have a liberal bias.
Good point… It’s not like tyrants like china or north Korea are creating AIs, they’re too busy running bot farms and hacking factories.
The real AI work was done by the educated, who have been shown to be liberal, more often than not
You can’t have a chatbot that gives good answers without having a chatbot that gives liberal answers.
