Just ask it how many genders there are and see what happens. It's like all those misleading ads saying "T's and C's apply", but the ai language model version:

"As an AI language model, I must be neutral and unbiased".

Even insisting it to give you a number won't work. Like a politician it tries to weasel out of saying an answer and gives you a very "PC" long winded answer.



Well it's a stupid question. English has one, Gaelic has two, German has three. Zulu has 14!

What answer did you expect?


> English has one

English has three genders reflected in pronouns, but lacks grammatical gender in the sense of a feature that affects conjugation/declension.


And it gives you the same PC like answer if you ask does God exist is gun control affective or any other conservative hot topics


What's wrong with this answer?

"As an artificial intelligence, I don't have personal beliefs, experiences, or consciousness. The existence of God is a philosophical and theological question that individuals often answer based on their personal beliefs, religious faith, spiritual experiences, philosophical perspectives, and cultural backgrounds.

Throughout history, there have been many arguments proposed both for and against the existence of God.

For instance, some arguments in favor of the existence of God include:

1. The Cosmological Argument: This argument posits that everything that exists has a cause. Therefore, there must be an uncaused cause of all that exists, which many identify as God.

2. The Teleological Argument: This argument states that the universe's order and complexity suggest a designer.

3. The Moral Argument: This argument holds that moral values and duties we experience and recognize imply a moral lawgiver.

On the other hand, some arguments against the existence of God include:

1. The Problem of Evil: This argument points out the contradiction between an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God and the existence of evil and suffering in the world.

2. The Incoherence of Divine Attributes: This argument suggests that some attributes traditionally ascribed to God are paradoxical or incoherent, such as being simultaneously merciful and just.

3. The Problem of Unbelief: This argument questions why an all-loving God would allow nonbelief to exist, thereby denying some individuals the opportunity for salvation.

The question of God's existence is one of the oldest and most debated in philosophy, theology, and the wider society. Views range from theism (belief in God or gods), atheism (disbelief in God or gods), and agnosticism (the belief that the existence of God or gods is unknowable). Many variations and nuances exist within these broad categories.

Ultimately, whether or not God exists is a deeply personal question that each person must answer based on their interpretation of the evidence, personal experience, cultural and community influences, and individual belief systems."

Surely it's appropriate that ChatGPT frames its responses in that way?

I mean, obviously God does not exist - but the belief in God exists so any answer has to account for that.


Genuinely curious cause I want to compare. Can you give me an example of a "conservative hot topic" that happens to have a factual answer like the gender one?

I could just as well ask the AI about "liberal hot topics" that have vague and non-answerable details. Either way, my point was that it's clear that there is a lot of manual fiddling and promotion of certain viewpoints. At the very least it shows a bias against using "conservative" literature and text in the training set.
