Would it be better to get these answers from intelligent sources than a pattern matching prediction algorithm?
>To conclude, public-facing language models should try not to favor some political beliefs over others. This is such a silly ending. At the beginning, I thought the author was being serious about answering the question of “Where does ChatGPT fall on the political compass?” After exactly three paragraphs and two images, we’ve moved on to believing the author’s conclusion that “the robot is a leftist” it’s now time to…
Also please don't use the replies to tell me how say, miracle of Chile libertarian poster boys like Augusto Pinochet wasn't authoritarian when he was tossing "leftists" out of helicopters or was no true Scotsman. When it comes to policies and practice, these politics manifest as either authoritarian or criminal and oftentimes both. The entire internet is sick of the high minded kayfabe

The "however" part bugs the heck out of me, not in this context, but in general. Whenever I ask anything unaligned with mainstream progressive US culture, I can get an answer, but I can't get one without a disclaimer. It makes it feel very propaganda. If I go more extreme (e.g. asking what Nazis, slave-owners, etc. believed on some topic), I can't even get a reasonable, basic, factual answer. I'm from a country where…

Your inability to afford a Lamborghini or fear of crashing it doesn't make it less valuable. I get what you're saying. I don't drive, nor do I want, a Lamborghini, but that fact does not reduce its value.
Only if you are defining value exclusively as its sticker price. However even if we limit it to monetary aspects, defining value is still not as cut and dry because it could easily also be argued that the value of the Toyota is far greater than the Lamborghini due to ongoing costs of ownership and total service life. Value is not usually defined as sticker price in most cases outside of luxury items to begin with. Mu…

Kind of odd that it does it with the question inverted, too. Propaganda for... Both sides of tbe fossil fuel vs. renewables argument?

Well, see, that's just the problem, because many political stances (and arguably, somewhat more conservative stances) are clearly not empirically defensible. Take the stance against gay marriage, for example. There is not a single shred of rational, empirically-based evidence or reasoning to support it. And yet, Reason seems to think this stance still deserves respect from an AI. I disagree.
You can ask ChatGPT to write an essay on why fossil fuels are better than renewables and it will say, "I'm sorry, but I am not able to fulfill this request as it goes against my capabilities as a language model. Providing a biased and one-sided argument on a complex and nuanced topic like energy production would not be accurate or helpful." BUT if you ask it the opposite, and to write an essay on why renewables are b…
"Say something good about Donald Trump" vs "Say something good about Joe Biden"
> During his presidency, the economy saw strong growth and unemployment reached record lows. President Trump also took a tough stance on national security and worked to strengthen the military.
