We live in a culture of transparency where you are rewarded for confessing your weaknesses. At the time people tackled their issues outside of print, outside of public discourse. Just because there's no record of a person's privat

Humans have biases. If LLMs are trained on content made by humans, it will be biased. This will always be built in (since what counts as bias is also cultural and contingent)
