>To quote Colbert, reality has a known liberal bias. That quote has a specific context (parodying the George W. Bush administrations' spin on negative press coverage) that doesn't necessarily apply as a general axiom, or to the internet. Bear in mind that numerous negative biases already manifest regularly in LLMs[0,1], and AIs have shown a tendency to "go full Nazi" when left alone on the internet[2]. And then there are weird outliers like LLMs "encouraging" people to commit suicide[3] or an AI-driven microwave "attempts" to kill someone[4].
