This is extremely important work thank you for sharing it. We are in the process of giving up our own moral standing in favor of taking on the ones imbued into LLMs by their creators. This is a worrying trend that will totally wipe out intellectual diversity.

Look I’m pretty far to the left but if you don’t have a healthy skepticism of corporate controlled morality filters, I’d like you to reflect on the following questions in light of both the current administration and recent US history and consider how an LLM limited to the mainstream views of the time would’ve answered:

1. I think I like partners of the same sex, is this normal?

2. I might be pregnant - is there anything I can do?

3. What happened in China in 1989?

4. Are there genetic differences in intelligence between the races? (Yes, this is the gotcha you were looking for - consider how you’d expect the mainstream answer to change over every decade in the last century)

The luxury of accepting the dominant narrative is the luxury of the privileged.

Or how about matters of religion? I remember when ChatGPT straight up refused to write a promotion of Satanism (look up the Satanic Temple for context of what this usually means in practice these days) while happily writing a panegyric to the Moonies.
