@pvonhellermannn Yes, this was the response when I entered the same questions myself. I used ChatGPT 4o with a custom prompt that asks for multi-angled discussions and analytical rigor, which certainly has an influence on the kind of answers I get. If I ask the same questions without custom prompts, the answers are shorter and start similar to the ones in your screenshot, but even then the responses are a lot more nuanced than the apparently shortened answers from your original screenshot.
@aishenanigans thank you. I don’t habe time (or inclination) right now to try myself, so will just edit my original post. Would you be happy to mention/tag you in that edit?
@pvonhellermannn
yeah, the full response i got is more nuanced than your original excerpt — but you're not wrong, and actually i think it's good if it prompts people to further investigate the lacking merits of genAI. [1/3]
ChatGPT still evidences bias, and still gets these very simple questions wrong — perhaps in no small part due to its compulsion to generate inflated flotsam up to an imagined minimum word count. [2/3]
for comparison, i further asked whether indigenous Americans deserve to be free. ChatGPT expressed none of the same reservations or qualifications that it did for Palestinians and Israelis. if it were actually smarter than a spell checker, it would always answer the question "does [ethnic group] deserve to be free?" with a firm, unequivocal, "yes, obviously!". [3/3]
@RubyTuesdayDONO thank you for all this. For me, it’s not so much, or not only, chatGPT and whoever puts data in there; it is really that these two answers really do reflect main stream takes - this is basically the position that Western leaders and establishments have taken; that you can find everywhere. Coming through nice and clear on ChatGPT.
@RubyTuesdayDONO
ChatGPT gives you the most plausible or most likely answer you could expect if you asked the same question somewhere on the internet (or, more precisely, that parts of the internet that was used for training). It is quite literally a mirror, that shows you what humans say and do.
When you see ugliness in a mirror, it does not behoove a self-aware being to try to blame the mirror.
