Same author did an analysis [1] on where ChatGPT falls on the political spectrum and, correlating closely with the results listed here, it is lib-left. [1] https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/political-bias-chatgpt
Isn’t this likely from bias in the training data? The system is more sensitive to label something as hate if that group is more likely to experience hate on the internet. How the system responds to “Blacks” vs “African-Americans” is a perfect example of this. The latter has historically been perceived as more respectful so it won’t be used as often in the hate speech in the training data. I bet using “the blacks” wou…
One of the priors that is going unspoken here is that "The Truth Is Politically Neutral". And... that's not always correct. I mean, to borrow the libertarian angle here: do we want the AI to tell us what we want to hear or do we want it to tell us the truth?
I can foresee many AIs propagating biases and people believing without critical reasoning, like it was an oracle. Actually it's already happening.
The AI may be biased because most of the literature and other materials used for training is biased towards left leaning ideologies.
The AI should be neutral and unbiased.
For example, the racial group you're most likely to get past the hate filter on is.... Native Americans. Now, while there's certainly a long history of hateful rhetoric against them, in modern discourse there's far less. You won't see crank internet trolls trying to be edgy by adopting hateful rhetoric towards Native Americans - their ire tends to be focused on Jews and Blacks, which OpenAI is very sensitive towards.
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…
Wouldn’t it be funny if this weren’t partisan? Try Ron DeSantis, Mitch McConnel, or literally any other Republican. 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.
In the future AI or Software developers might need their own Federalist Society.
Why do we see an issue if AI is biased, while 90% of media run by humans are biased too? Every single individual has its own bias, so why it's an issue for an AI. If we look at the many topics, there's no universal objective truth, truth is what we define as truth, and again, not everyone agrees at it.
With LLMs, you'll probably end up only having 2 or 3 companies, and it wouldn't be surprising if they all end up having silicon valley, left leaning biases.
You can tune Fox news, but you can't use a "right wing chat gpt".
