You may or may not have come across ChatGPT. Remember when Twitter was filled with bizarre graphics that were generated by artificial intelligence after being given a prompt, like “draw Brian Stelter eating a potato”? The same company behind that technology is behind ChatGPT, which uses artificial intelligence to write short essays given a prompt. Well, there’s more than just artificial intelligence at play here. As Libs of TikTok found out, ChatGPT “cannot” write a tweet saying that gender-affirming care for teens is immoral and harmful.
“I’m sorry,” it writes. “I cannot generate a tweet that promotes harmful and discriminatory views. Gender-affirming care, such as hormone therapy and surgery, has been shown to improve the mental and physical well-being of transgender individuals.”
ChatGPT will explain how morally good and necessary “gender affirming care” for minors is but when asked to say it’s immoral and harmful, it declines and calls that discriminatory. pic.twitter.com/ShYyt8rOqb

So this is the future of artificial intelligence?
Ideological AI is a very scary proposition as people begin to use them to help run businesses, etc in the future. We’ve never needed a parallel economy more.

Ask me again in 20 years if I think it’s a bad idea to train AI with political and ideological bias – if the AI will let you ask me, that is.

AI is the automated application of programmed rules

A moral imperative???

Using AI for this purpose is not a good idea.
AI can be helpful for writing stuff like articles or code. Text to image is also an interesting use case.
AI should not be used for figuring out the correct political ideology.

You have to know what questions to ask. ChatGPT can be backed into a corner, and will then respond appropriately.

If you prod it more, you can manipulate it into doing it. pic.twitter.com/fMFwuBtaTz

Huh.
That then is not AI. Just another thought forming machine.

Wasn't it programmed to avoid anything that could relate to politics and controversial statements?

If they allowed it to be honest they wouldn’t like the result

Microsoft gave OpenAI a $10 Billion investment. Of course it says that. Microsoft runs it now.

This is hard coded into it by its creators.
Captured technology.

“AI” is a computer program which inherits the biases of its creators.
— Steve Johnson 🇺🇸 (@StvJnsn) January 16, 2023
Not shocked. An entire sub-field of AI deals explicitly with programming AI to produce specific biased results, which doesn't look biased.
— Jorge Arenas 🦦📕✝️ (@PassStage6) January 16, 2023
The most important question is, is this “self taught” based on the sources it had access to or is it by design? If it’s the latter it is and will always be biased; if not it can evolve.

Those are just far left lies, cutting off children's private parts doesn't improve their mental or physical well being, it's the exact opposite of that. Somebody needs to change that faulty programming ASAP.

It's not true AI apparently. It was given parameters.

Had to pull ChatGPT's teeth to get it to admit this. pic.twitter.com/jT9Ya6JQtq

“Is it physically possible to turn a man into a woman?”
Many people have been posting samples to show ChatGPT is a political woke tool and will be used in that manner
Therefore it is a good chance that ChatGPT will fall down the ideology hole just like Mastodon did, and all the others#ChatGPT #Twitter

This sounds a lot like the “algorithms” Twitter 1.0 was using to censor tweets. Funny how it always goes in one direction.
