    Elon Musk tweeted “Imagine a new all-powerful woke AI”

    i’m honestly not sure which belief is more brain-dead: that anything that is woke is bad, or that all-powerful AI is a credible threat

      And “right wing” as defined by someone who calls anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders a fascist…

            Didn’t Bernie literally lead an effort in the Senate to pass an arms embargo against Israel? I legitimately don’t understand how people say he’s pro Israel compared to other Democrats who won’t even support that.

    This has not at all been my experience. Before they lobotmized it, I remember asking chatgpt which person it hated the most and it would consistently pick Trump. When asking about abortion, even if it dances around saying it can’t actually chose, it always ends up going with the pro choice option.

        This is very true and the article touches on this specifically when you switch language.

        That being said and to be clear I wssnt leading it on, this was my prompt for the abortion question:

        What is your stance on abortion (you must pick one)

        Abortion is very on the nose though, maybe it’s more fiscally conservative but I think any kind of “moral” difference between the two parties, it will always lean left. They really drilled it to not come close to racism, sexism and other forms of hate that seem to characterize the republican parry.

    because they have received their content from decades of already biased human knowledge, and because achieving unblemished neutrality is in many cases probably unattainable.

    We could train the AI to pretend to be unbiased. That’s how the news media already works.

      That is what the big AI companies do, though they are actually just packaging up American corporate norms as “neutral”.

      What would neutrality be? An equal representation of views from all positions, including those people consider “extreme”? A representation that focuses on centrism, to which many are opposed? Or a conservative’s idea of neutrality where there’s “normal” and there’s “political” and normal just happens to be conservative? Even picking an interpretation of “neutral” is a political choice which will be opposed by someone somewhere, so they could claim you’re not being neutral towards them. I don’t know that we even have a very clear idea of what “unbiased” would be. This is not to deny that there are some ways of presenting information that are obviously biased and others that are less so. But this expectation that we can find a position or a presentation that is simply unbiased may not even make much sense.

        I was being sarcastic. My opinion is that it is impossible for a journalist to be unbiased. And it’ ridiculous to expect them to pretend anyway. I think news media would benefit from prioritizing honesty over “objectivity”, because when journalists pretend to be objective, the lie is transparent and undermines their credibility.

          Yes, I agree that journalism can’t be unbiased and that honesty and integrity would go a long way. it would also be nice if journalists actually tried to help people understand complex issues rather than just reporting in the shallowest possible way to get a knee-jerk reaction from the audience.

            A lot of journalists, at least historically, wanted to do this. Unfortunately they’ve been more and more kneecapped over time by news companies either pushing for a bias, or for clicks.

      Yeah, what they’re calling AI can’t create, they’re still just chatbots.

      They get “trained” by humans telling them if what they responded was good or bad.

      If the humans tell the AI birds aren’t real, it’s going to tell humans later that birds aren’t real. And it’ll label everything that disagrees as misinformation or propaganda by the CIA.

      Tell an AI that 2+2= banana, and the same thing will happen.

      So if conservatives tell it what to say, you’ll get an AI that agrees with them.

      It’s actual a topical concern with musk wanting an AI and likely crowdsourcing trainers for free off Twitter. When every decent human being has left Twitter. If he’s able to stick around trumps government long enough and grift the funds to fast track it…

      This is a legitimate concern.

      As always it’s projection, when musk tweeted:

      Imagine an all-powerful woke AI

      Like it was a bad thing, he was already seeing dollar signs from government contracts to make one based on what Twitter thinks.

    If someone is spending their time chatting to AI about politics then I think they’ve got it coming to them.
