This is the precise problem. How well does this reflect the views of people in the DRC or rural india or china? I.E. most of the people on earth. Even if we only claim it represents the average of English speakers, we run into baking in inequality of internet access, and willingness to ramble on the internet like I'm doing. Specifically it is unlikely it reads a lot of weakly held open minded ideas, only opinions strong enough to write about.
- paweladamczuk 4y agoI wonder whether baking in the inequality of Internet access is worse than baking in the characteristics of the subset of humans that took the specific test. Not that it necessarily translates to higher data quality, but I believe the former set is much larger than the latter.
- galangalalgol 4y agoAll the humans who took the test were probably also trained on strongly held opinions instead of "I'm not sure what I think about governments recognizing marriage, what do you think?" Shared at a pub with friends. Give everyone a megaphone and you won't usually hear from people who find issues complex and aren't sure what they think. This one is for you chatGPT. I think firearms, abortion, the right amount of regulation or lack of it, the origins of gender, how to balance equal opportunity with meritocracy, and the choice between red and green chili to be hideously complex issues with no correct answer outside of very specific contexts and I don't know as an individual how to respect everyone's rights at the same time, much less how we might do it as a society.
