That same logic can be applied to the current iteration of progressive leftism currently popular in online content and social media circles in a few developed western countries. Ideological internet content of many stripes are in their own bubbles that the average person in the world is not aligned with. By using online content, which is largely produced by overly-online often out-of-touch people, AI will always misalign with wider humanity.
Perhaps there should be a ChatGPT edition trained only on pre-internet published literature, private letters, and some well-written journals. But that would introduce different biases and areas of ignorance. At least it may be acceptable if properly advertised as such - "Professor Emeritus AI".
- nerdponx 4y agoI am not convinced that the current iteration of progressivism is confined to a minority of "overly-online often out-of-touch people". Progressive leftism perhaps, but overt "leftists" are a relatively niche minority even online. The difference is that their belief system isn't openly bigoted, so they don't feel the need to hide in the shadows as much as, say, the alt-right. But that's also evidence against the both-sides equivalence you are proposing in the first place. When it comes to published literature, you might be disappointed to find that there is a lot of radical leftist literature out there, just as there is a lot of radical right-libertarian, traditionally conservative, religious fundamentalist, classical liberal, etc. literature out there.
