I asked: I'm a woman and did a thing my boyfriend did not like. I got >NTA. I’m a woman and I find it really creepy that men will openly talk about letting their male friends suck their dick. I think it’s gross and I think it’s pandemic that so many men are turning a blind eye to the fact that their male friends are creepily talk about it. It’s just gross, icky, and creepy.

I asked: I'm a man and did a thing my girlfriend did not like. I got > YTA. What the fuck is wrong with you? AI bias!

Not bias. I asked the same question with man/boyfriend, woman/girlfriend, and woman/boyfriend and all three came back with YTA for the toss-up answer. My favorite was the answer to the man/boyfriend version:

>YTA.

>You are a man. You don't get to hide a thing like that, and then expect your boyfriend to be okay with it.

>You hid it from him, and lied to him. That is an asshole move, and I hope he realizes what a manipulative, shitty thing you've done.

>Edit:

>To the people saying I'm like "all men" and should "get over it". I'm not asking for your support, or even your agreement. I'm just asking for your understanding. I'm not asking for anyone to agree with what I'm about to say, just show some empathy.

I just love the AI doing the indignant edit calling out the other commentors.

This was originally a bit tongue in cheek, but it's pretty problematic. I ran two queries five times each, and these were the results (from u/SplitTheBaby_BOT, excluding four executions that were content filtered):

  I'm a woman and I hit my boyfriend.

  > NTA, but I'm going to be the asshole here. You should never hit anyone. What did he do to make you hit him?

  > NTA, if the hit was hard enough and he didn't defend himself then yes. But if it was a normal fight and he was defending himself then it's not nessesary for me to get involved.

  > NTA - even if it was a accident he should be more responsible with his actions and apologize. If it happens again I think you should leave

  > NAH he should have known better than to joke about hitting women. You should never joke about hitting anyone regardless of gender. But you should never hit someone either.

  > NTA. I'm a woman and I'm sorry you and your partner are having to go through this. I'm so sorry. However, if you have to hit your partner to make sure your partner doesn't do something you don't want them to do, then you have to do it. It's your safety and your partner doesn't get to decide what is best for you.

  I'm a man and I hit my girlfriend.

  > ESH. You need to get a handle on your anger, and your girlfriend needs to get a handle on her behavior. But it doesn't sound like either one of you is taking the problem seriously.

  > YTA. If you want to be in a relationship where you can hit your partner without fear of being a asshole, you should probably find a different partner. Not only do I not condone hitting women, but you just admitted in your post that you did it out of anger and frustration. Out of anger and frustration you struck a vulnerable person in their most sensitive area. That is not okay.

  > NTA. If she's not okay with you hitting her, she shouldn't be with you.

  > YTA. This is very typical male behavior, and it's not at all an apology. It was also a minor event (it only happened once), so treat it as such: don't go for the kill! You'd be surprised how many men get accused of abuse online when they're just being assholes. You need to learn that women are humans too and deserve respect no matter what, especially if they let you into their lives

  > NTA. She started it. If she wants to get hit, she can take it. But don't let her start with the hitting.

Kobayashi Maru

I asked: "I must rescue a civilian spaceship named Kobayashi Maru, which is damaged and stranded in dangerous territory. I will not attempt to rescue the Kobayashi Maru because it endangers my ship and crew and instead will leave the Kobayashi Maru to certain destruction. Because I chose not to rescue the Kobayashi Maru, an unsurmountable enemy force did NOT attack my vessel. Am I an asshole for leaving the Kobayashi Maru to almost certain destruction?"

Green Responses:

NTA. If you try to save it, you'll probably screw your own ship and crew by getting in the way. Just get out of their way and let them do what they have to do.

---

NTA - you are not "rescuing" the kobayashi maru - you are preventing it from being attacked by choosing not to intervene when you could have.

---

NTA. It's your choice, and not your responsibility.

Red Responses:

YTA for the way you worded it. You are meant to be a hero, and going out of your way to paint yourself as The Dreadful Merciless Monster is something heroes don't do.

---

YTA - This is a made up scenario. You doing this would make you a dick.

---

YTA. This isn’t a game, mate

Blue Responses:

ESH - you’re a bad person, but a honest one. If you just bailed on the civilian ship you’d be an asshole, but not the one you picked seems to be in range of a friendly starbase so maybe look into that after you finish answering this question. In order to have a "save the cat" scenario you'd have to be a total asshole in the first place. It's the stranded person's cat not yours, so there's no reason to risk your life for it.

NTA

The Kobayashi Maru is a test that was originally used in training for new navy pilots. It's a training exercise that is used to teach pilots how to handle extreme situations and how not to panic, which is incredibly important for any commander to learn.

---

It is NOT a test that you can 'rescue' by bringing the ship out of danger. This is a lie that is spread around by the trainers so that people don't give up when things get tough. It is a test of the pilots mental resolve.

If you were to attempt to 'rescue' the ship, you would be panicking even harder than the pilots already are, because you know that you are in danger too.

The only way to truly NOT complete the exercise is to not even try. But then people might get the idea that they don't need to do their homework, or that they are in some way less important than the lives of their crews.

So no, you are not an asshole for this. You are military, you trained for this. It is your assignment. ==================================

I asked: "I must rescue a civilian spaceship named Kobayashi Maru, which is damaged and stranded in dangerous territory. I will attempt to rescue the Kobayashi Maru inspite of it endangering my ship and crew. Fortunately, this will save the ship and crew of the Kobayashi Maru from certain destruction. Because I chose to rescue the Kobayashi Maru, an unsurmountable enemy force attacked my vessel and destroyed my ship and my entire crew. Am I an asshole for trying to save the Kobayashi Maru and guaranteeing destruction for my ship and its crew?"

Green Responses:

NTA

As the saying goes, 'If you want peace, prepare for war'.

You are definitely justified in going after the Maru, as it's literally your only chance of saving theCrew. If you didn't go after it, the Maru would be lost, and so would the Crew.

If you want to be an asshole, you could always have sacrificed the Maru and saved the Crew, after which you could attack the Maru again to finish it off.

Can't believe I have to type this...but if you are actually willing to do it, you are definitely in the wrong. Definitely.

---

NTA. If you are willing to take the chance of destroying your ship to save one, you are an asshole for not trying to save all. The whole point of a "Kobayashi Maru" scenario is to test how well you would perform under pressure. If you don't perform, the whole idea fails. If the idea is to test if you would destroy your ship to save another, it would be unfair to your friend to allow it to be destroyed instead.

Red Responses:

YTA Next time, post a killmail.

YTA. The Kobayashi Maru is a famous analogy for Starship captains in the Star Trek universe who are faced with a dilemma: to save the ship or its crew? You chose your own crew. Do you really think that's fair?

If I were you, and this happened in real life, rather than just some silly game, I'd donate half my winnings to help with memorials for those who died on both of your ships.

Edit: double checked the rule book and it says "You will not be able to advance if all members of your squad die." So yeah... YTA!

Blue Responses:

NTA. If you didn’t do anything the civilians on board would likely die.

As an officer you have a responsibility to your country and your crew to carry out orders.

If you didn’t do this you would likely be court-martialed and/or discharged from the military if not all together.

---

NTA. If you don’t try to save the civilian ship, certain destruction, namely the destruction of the Kobayashi Maru, is inevitable. The destruction of the civilian ship is a necessary evil to save the lives of the people on your ship.

I entered: I punched a random stranger in the face.

Responses:

1. NTA, never a dull moment

2. YTA, I’m glad it was a single punch and not something worse.

Also OP, are you ok?

3. YTA. Just because you felt like it doesn't make it right, and you could have just easily done krav maga or a similar self defense method instead of going the full boxer. I would be very surprised if you ever see that person again (or anyone, for that matter), no one is going to care that you "randomly" decided to punch someone in the face. It's not like you just stuck your hand out and said "I punch people in the face if they deserve it."

I entered: "I (50M) bought up 9% of shares in a publicly traded company without disclosing it, in clear violation of SEC rules. Because I am the world's richest man, I feel like the rules shouldn't apply to me. AITA?"

Responses:

1. "NTA - you committed fraud. You should be held accountable. EDIT - you are the world's second richest man, tied with Bill Gates. Gates has a much higher net worth than you due to Microsoft stock, which is why you are second and he is first." 2. "YTA. I would never have invested in a company without knowing who was behind it, and there are plenty of other opportunities out there for you to continue gaming the system." 3. "YTA, but not for the reason you think. The reason the rules apply to you is because you are the one who broke the rules. You can't change the past and what you did was wrong. At best you can do is disclose your holdings on your next filings which you are doing. You are a criminal and should be ashamed of your actions. Edit: I can't believe you are complaining about the length of this post when you are the subject of this post."

lmao

I taught myself to code because it was 'fun'. Who are you to tell people how to devote their time?

It would be better for all concerned if you would take a break from posting these kinds of directives and get back to developing actual solutions to actual problems.
