For reference as to why they need to try to be so heavy handed with their prompts about BS, here was Grok, Elon’s ‘uncensored’ AI on Twitter at launch which upset his Twitter blue subscribers:
(ignore the arya coding lessons thing, that’s one of the default prompts it suggests to try on their homepage)
it said we should switch to renewable energy and acknowledged climate change, replied neutrally about communism and vaccines, said alex jones is a conspiracy theorist, it said holocaust was a genocide and said it has no opinion on black people, however it said it does not support trans rights
It’s only in part trained on Twitter and it wouldn’t really matter either way what Twitter’s alignment was.
What matters is how it’s being measured.
Do you want a LLM that aces standardized tests and critical thinking questions? Then it’s going to bias towards positions held by academics and critical thinkers as you optimize in that direction.
If you want an AI aligned to say that gender is binary and that Jews control the media, expect it to also say the earth is flat and lizard people are real.

Good bot
I don’t know what he was expecting considering it was trained on twitter, that was (in)famous for being full of (neo)liberals before he took over.

Often reality has a ‘liberal’ bias.
