today's fact is tomorrows hate crime saying it - beware!
LLMs are only as “fact based” as the data they source. An LLM in the time of Galileo would have told you the earth is flat.
Weekly reminder that scholars since at least 500 B. C thought the earth was a sphere, so Galileo's LLM would tell him that, and even tell its size with a reasonable accuracy.
It actually is biased though. UpperEchelon did a video exposing this. I swing to the left myself, but I would prefer if the LLMs were objective.
Political objectivity is impossible.
I would argue that asking a machine to list known information is not impossible.
Here's a very clear example where chatGPT refused to answer a question regarding Biden but happily answered the exact same question for Trump.

And before anyone starts, NO! I'm not a supporter of the oompaloompa king.
Mhm, but with the way LLMs work, it's not possible to actually remove bias since it's baked into the training data. Any adjustment towards "neutral" would be biased by what the adjuster considers neutral.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Only if emotions are involved. Of course it's not possible as long as we train our AI with flawed human-generated data though.
Reality has a liberal bias.
Big surprise! Call the press!
No shit sherlock.
