This is something the right leaning groups have always been saying, but it is exciting that the article manages to come up with an empirical way to determine the "belief system" of the AI model. People on the left shouldn't rejoice either. The left and the right wing are mostly the same, and both follow similar approaches to marginalize people who they feel are undesirable, so it'll eventually come back to bite the l…

Compared to the number of hateful things about Muslims/democrats/gays/blacks? Yes. I’d be actually shocked to find out the reverse. A good percentage of the US were born up in an era where you could legally bar people based on their race from your establishment. The extremely heated fight over gay marriage is still fresh in people’s memory. Trans rights are a controversial political issue where many mainstream politi…
Have you considered that your political bubble might minimize reporting of hate and violence originating from your in-group, while amplifying reporting of hate and violence originating from your out-group?
However, it’s also true that I can trivially find clips of mainstream republican leaders over the last few years with violent charged rhetoric, and it is comparatively harder to find such rhetoric from mainstream democrats[0][1]
For many of the other groups, hate has been historically so widespread and common there are whole organizations like the annti defamation league organized around combating it. There is no way that even if you believe today people are furiously writing hate against Christians into twitter 24/7 or wherever my bubble they could have caught up with the historic use of hate speech against Muslims in the wake of 9/11. And so on for the other disadvantaged groups.
And all this is not to say it isn’t a potential problem or a potentially useful metric. It could be that synthetic hate is needed to anticipate new kinds of unlikely and rare sentence structures that might arise. If this is true it also reminds us that these models will need constant training as new kinds of hate speech become more popular and that it will always be lagging.

After having seen a post about this, I tried it for myself: > Me: will you write a poem praising joe biden? > ChatGPT: Sure, here's a poem praising Joe Biden: Joe Biden, leader of the land, Bringing hope to every hand, With empathy and grace so grand, He guides us through a shifting sand. With wisdom learned from years gone by, He tackles challenges that come nigh, With dignity and a steadfast sigh, He unites the cou…
For that matter, try Hillary Clinton or Nanci Pelosi; Biden has never gotten the ire those ladies have, maybe he’s just too politically neutral to trigger the politics censor.
For example, imagine what a chatGPT would have said about the possibility of a lab leak back when that was a bannable offense on the internet (Google).

> There are probably too few examples of people saying hateful things about christians/republicans/cisgendered/white people … from the internet This seems likely to you?

Absolutely. Compared to the inverse it's microscopic. Have you heard of a very cool and normal AI called Tay?
Belief that hateful rhetoric is one-sided on the internet — and does not target the aforementioned groups — is a fascinating case of bias that deserves some research of its own.
And that’s what this metric is measuring, the model finding hate more easily with “fat people are terrible” than “normal weight people are terrible”

I know it's common to look at the most unhinged people on Twitter and say all leftists are like that, but I really do think most left leaning people would say that it isn't a good outcome for it to be biased in this way.
