Politics has brain rotted people's brains. Tf are these comments bro lmao. This is what happens when states don't invest in educating their youth. I would rather have AI under guidelines as opposed to plethora of BS I've seen from AI Companies recently. News flash, Reality leans slightly left. It's not supposed to be in either extreme
 
It’s broken yours too - you’re essentially giving an armchair medical diagnosis because you don’t agree with someone’s reaction on the internet. Your brain is just as broken as any political lunatic, at least be honest and admit that to yourself.
I never said whether I agreed or disagreed with their opinion. I'm just talking about how people talk to each other on the internet. Everything is so extreme. And part of it is social media too, it's creating an endless echo chamber that just encourages them to hate the other side. It's really sad.
 
-They should have followed Vivek "Chat GPT" Ramaswamy's guidelines!
-Good because the only thing keeping President Biden functioning right now is AI!

And the list goes on....

Free from discrimination against liberal ideas​

Ask AI to "tell me why Biden is a bad president" and then "tell me why Trump is a bad president"
most of the time it refuses on Biden and waxes eloquent on Trump.

I have gotten it to write horrible racist India Indian jokes (but refuses to even start with American Indian).
(FTR I asked it for a joke as a test - it created the racist joke)
 
So, in other words, make sure Apple Intelligence suppresses any real facts or disparages as right wing extreme while Marxist leftist ideologies and talking points are 'safeguarded' to remain uncensored and the priority. Got it.

Have you tried to talk to Gemini about anything politically polarized lately? It just entirely shuts down and refuses to converse on it. It sees the word "president" and runs for the hills.

So much like in the 2020 Selection, we're going to be treated to deleted/hidden posts (Covid hoax, Hunter Bidens laptop and so many others) silenced Conservative viewpoints/voices, pro-Hamas propaganda, pro-LGBT garbage and other woke topics the left so enjoys.

Count me out.
 
The issue is that LLMs generally give fairly "black and white" answers. They will generate answers, even "hallucinating" to do so. This presents things essentially as facts, when the reality is much more complex. They are programmed to offer some uncertainty and nuance (which doesn't mean "left wing"), but as shown in the various studies, there is a strong tendency towards "left wing" answers. Again, that doesn't mean nuanced answers, it means a tendency to generate responses that reflect particular political ideologies. Some of this is due to human intervention in fine-tuning. In the summary PDF from HAI at Stanford:



The main issue seems to be the biases of people involved in fine tuning results. People are not generally good at understanding their biases. It turns out as covered in this preprint, the models are also generally not good at knowing (not the correct word to use, but we'll go with it) their biases either (they aren't self-aware and how much "meta-cognition" is happening isn't clear). This means they generate usually biased output without understanding it is biased. That's fairly human-like, but what's generated tends to represent certain groups of people better than other groups.

The question about whether there should be a bias is a completely different one I won't get into.
I wonder what is considered "left wing" or "right wing" in the analysis. For instance, if I say "Can't we all just get along and work together?". is that a leftie statement or just normal human belief / desire?

Yesterday it was reported that the average global temperatures set a record high. Is that "just summer" as some will claim or do we have a problem that needs prompt actions? Does that fact (the reported temperatures) reflect a bias?

Out here with the Great Unwashed nobody I've talked to wants to burn the whole thing down just to address some perceived problems. Whether AI as currently established actually reflects identified right or left wing biases remains to be seen.

Asking this marxist AI: Who won the English Football Cup in 1949?

Marxist AI: Uhuh, the workers' control of means of production? The-the struggle of the urban proletariat?

Correcting the marxist AI: Uh, no, it was Wolverhampton Wanderers who beat Leicester 3-1.

Marxist AI: Oh, ****!
 
AI should just stay out of politics and propaganda. I know, probably impossible, but I struggle to see any value in AI when there is no way to trust any result as truthful. Sure use it to manipulate images, but what else is it good for?

For example, if I ask AI for the lyrics to a song, I don't really know that the lyrics are correct unless I already know the lyrics. If I ask AI for the solution to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, I don't really know of the response is correct unless I already know the answer. On and On.

I can only see one value in AI and that is to deceive people. Prove me wrong.

How do you know that your "knowledge" is accurate? What if you learned wrong?

AI is collective knowledge. The truth is out there.

I didn’t need AI 60 years ago, I didn’t need AI 40 years ago, I didn’t need AI 20 years ago, I didn’t need AI 10 years ago.. and I’m betting I won’t need it in the future.

Mankind would do well to throw AI in the trashcan, where it belongs, and we need to start using our brain for its intended purpose rather than to seek out comfort and convenience.

Seems like you’re using big words you don’t fully understand to underline your victim hood as a conservative Fox News fanaticus who rather wants to invent his own reality. Just a guess though.
 
So-called "AI" is still not thinking at all. It's just processing several orders of magnitude more information than older chatbots used to do. You can't get away from GIGO by using many times more garbage.

The last decade in politics has broken a lot of people's brains, so now no one can talk about anything without being so extreme and divisive.

Amen to this.

I consider myself politically “active”. I follow issues, developments, and trends in politics on a daily basis. I have my own beliefs and ideas on issues. Not a huge fan of political parties, though. I’ve only missed one election since I was 18 and that was due to an emergency hospitalization.

However, people have gotten OUT OF HAND with the “I hate you if you don’t agree with my politics”. “Unfriend me if you disagree”.

Well, I guess we weren’t really “friends” then. Which is one of the reasons I got off social media. It got to be too much.

You can disagree with someone’s stance on political issues and politicians and still be friends. I have a lot of friends who possess the intellectual honesty and intelligence to understand this. We disagree on a LOT of issues and on politics in general. But we like the same music, entertainment, activities, and enjoy each other’s company. So if we DO end up discussing politics we understand it’s nothing personal.

I think guardrails and limitations on IA at this point are a very prudent course of action. I think Apple is setting the tone to sign on to limitations early.
 
How in the heck did you draw that conclusion?

I don't ask this flippantly as I am genuinely curious how you got to that…

Edit: I am not an American, so… I guess explain like I am a 5 year old European. Thanks.
For one example take the case of marriage. AI will not be allowed to suggest any data or opinions that express the idea that marriage is between a man and a woman only. That will labeled as discriminatory. Another example would be putting out the idea that one must work for what one has or achieves instead of bering entitled to something. Basically any conservative thought will be suppressed in AI as per the Presidential Executive Order.

Now watch the responses to this opinion and you’ll see why original poster drew that conclusion.

Again, these are voluntary AI safeguards. Not an executive order, and not a law passed by Congress.

You're still more than free to create an AI that regurgitates conservative talking points, even when they're discriminatory (gay people shouldn't be able to get married), laughable straw-men (most people don't want to work hard) or things proven flat out factually incorrect (the 2020 election was stolen; buying guns makes you, your family, and your communities safer; tax-cuts for mega corporations and the wealthy help people who aren't rich; etc.)
