This seems so silly; it's trivial to get an LLM to adopt any political position you desire with simple prompting.
Take ChatGPT for example; it can spout diatribes about rightwing talking points, leftwing ones, or basically anything -- you just need to ask.
- dgrin91 4y agoThe problem the author is referencing is that without any specific prompting (which will be 99.9999% of prompts) ChatGPT has an inherent left-leaning bias, and this is not disclosed to the average ChatGPT user. If you ask ChatGPT a question that has some sort of political tilt then ChatGPT will give you a left leaning answer out of the box. I say all this as a regurgitation of what the Author said. I personally don't feel convinced that ChatGPT has a clear bias.
- nunobrito 4y agoThat is easy to test, just ask the questions from a clean slate without previous ones. It is a left-wing bot because the answers have been influenced that way, rather than even picking on real facts. The same author extensively provides evidence of this deliberate action in other publications.
