I am not even arguing with you, just pointing out how Perplexity came to the conclusion. Your initial claim was something along the line of “ideological bias is bolted onto the LLM”, which I tried to disprove by showing that Perplexity is paraphrasing the top Google search link. Yes, that link may have bias, but that’s separate from Perplexity’s own biases.
- peanutcrisis 3y agoI didn't infer the intent that you're describing now. Given that others might infer the same thing I did, I think my response serves as an important clarification. Now that you've made your intent clear(er), I'd say that we're in agreement. I started my original post by remarking "Just how ideologically polluted is their training dataset?". This comports with your explanation of how Perplexity is paraphrasing the top Google search link. I also prefaced your quotation of me here ("bolting climate change and election denial right into the LLM") with "This is practically the same as". This suggests that you've misunderstood/mis-inferred my post (as did I with your response), since I'm not claiming that ideological bias is bolted into the LLM, but rather that the pollution of their training dataset make it as though bias is bolted into their LLM. I hope this clears things up.
