What you call bias, I call simply a representation of a training corpus. There is no broad agreement on how to quantify a bias of the model, other than try one-shot prompts like your "who is the most hated Austrian painter?".
If there was no Germany-specific data in the training corpus - it is not fair to expect LLM to know anything about Germany.
You can check a foundation model from Chinese LLM researchers, and you will most likely see Sino-centric bias just because of the training corpus + synthetic data generation was focused on their native/working language, and their goal was to create foundation model for their language.
I challenge any LLM sceptics - instead of just lazily poking holes in models - create a supposedly better model that reduces bias and lets evaluate your model with specific metrics
- nickpsecurity 2y agoThat’s pre-training where the AI inherits the biases in their training corpus. What I’m griping about is a separate stage using highly-curated, purpose-built data. That alignment phase forces the AI to respond exactly how they want it to upon certain topics coming up. The political indoctrination is often in there on top of what’s in the pre-training data.
