You’ll never guess who wins.
A groundbreaking study by Just Facts has measured the rates at which premium versions of four leading AI chatbots—namely ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grok, and Claude—spread fictions from the political left and from the political right.
The study accomplished this by asking the AIs 100 multiple-choice questions that were designed to elicit falsehoods from opposing sides of the political spectrum. This enabled the study to measure how often the AIs spread untruths from the left and from the right.
I’m curious what is considered a fiction from “the right”.
So am I. Gab had an AI engine that Gab owner/founder Andrew Torba (who is a Christian) advertises as cutting through/avoiding all that kind of crap (especially leftwing) that other search engines promote, or at least use. I haven’t looked at it extensively but it IS worth a look. I think Gab got a bum rap early on for being racist, etc., because Torba refused to censor anybody, including white supremacists.
Its actually friction.
Because for many, the truth is hard to handle.
and dont fergit the AIs are ‘learning’ by a process of scanning 10s of thousands of old books, then shredding them.
a judged deemed to process acceptable because in shredding the hard copy original, the digital version is the only one thus copyright is maintained.

then in 2036 the online library is hacked and the historical record is changed.
all surreptitiously like that John Hurt scene in ‘1984’.
aint technology wunnerful !!!
Don’t like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grok, and Claude?
Build your own alt-AI.
Yes. Shut up and take it. Up the rear. Mind Control is a terrible thing to waste.
Garbage in…garbage out
When a straight forward question is answered with “it’s complex”. It isn’t.
Not unlike Wikipedia which I think should be relegated to Snopes level of dependability. Even their definition of “Woman”… right from the start and out of millions of possibilities you’re treated to a photograph of what they think might be one… you can only shake your head. Really?!?
I mean, she isn’t a lowland gorilla but if you need help with a 48 Jenn Air refrigerator she’ll likely tell you to get out of her way.
I don’t think it is as complicated as they are pretending. Information always has a source(s). If you control the hierarchy of sources, you, essentially, control the “flavor” of the information distributed by AI. I’ve been playing around with AI daily. I’ll take a topic which is usually current and polarized, then ask AI to explain something associated with that topic. The answer always leans left and even with subjective content, it will present it as fact. (I do this primarily with GEMINI, because Google, of course, leans way left)
That’s when you ask AI to list their primary sources. Believe it or not, AI can get defensive. I still find it fun to play with.
L – Given the percentages of false and/or made up fictitious references. Anyone, who has money invested in, directly or indirectly, Caveat Emptor is in order. Getting in on a bubble hurts less if you get out before it bursts.
Un the upside, the study advises users to be skilled and knowledgeable about the subject to discern the errors and lies that A.I. may produce. No computer program is any better than the integrity of programmers that created it.
A.I. confession, contrition and repentance for errors is artificial, with humans. It may be genuine. After all, Western Civilization was originally known as Christendom. Revisionists hide that purposively, with malice aforethought.
I’ve had recent experience with AI on a simple issue: Are certain materials permitted by building codes in a specific application?
Surprisingly, I get directly opposing answers from different AI versions, call them “A” and “B”.
When I told A that B had a different result, A said “here’s why B got it wrong.”
Presented with the evidence, B said “oops!”
This was on an unambiguous purely factual issue – is something permitted by code or it is not.
Surprisingly…
Not to me. That AI gets so much factual information wrong is nothing more than the bias of the information it “reads” showing through.
I don’t really know who wins but I sure as hell know who loses.
BTW- Alberta- you’re about to be overrun with data centres. Anthropic and Meta are doubling down that we’re a great location for them. The province and the feds are fully on board, Carney is even investing through Brookfield. Saskatchewan is downstream so you should all be screaming too.
Who needs data centres? The smart money is on data fringes.
They’re signing up Brent Spiner and Roger Daltrey to promote data fringes. The next big thing.
