Conclusions:
It seems that OpenAI is trying to make their systems more politically neutral. But completely neutralizing the biases seems elusive. I can imagine that this is a very hard problem to solve since many potential sources of biases in AI systems are outside the control of the engineers creating the models. Think for instance of the overall average political bias present on Internet texts on which AI systems are trained, or pervasive societal biases and blind spots that might manifest in the human raters involved in the reinforcement learning module of the training regime (RLHF). It seems that for the time being, political biases in state of the art AI systems are not going away.

I think this should just be acknowledged and as much as possible exposed in the UI rather than the creepy big brother-ness exhibited so far.

- Infinity315 4y agoAI (I'm mostly talking about ChatGPT here) is told to only report things that are factual or as close to it like what the current scientific consensus is and is fed currently what is believed to be the most accurate scientific models. Many political positions are contingent on the belief that these scientific models are incorrect. Telling AI not to say falsehoods is implicitly injecting bias in its responses.
