Should we not be concerned that this is what the AI is aligned to? I mean, it's great that nobody agrees with it, but it's kinda exposing a real problem with this particular AI's alignment.

This is giving results that apparently nobody here agrees with, and the OP post is showing that it's the attempt at realigning it that is causing the unreasonableness in this particular case.

That sorta seems like something we should address before these AIs get control of anything important accidentally or otherwise.

If this wasn't a polarizing topic we would just look at the AI output and shake our heads at how poorly it understands the world or whatnot. But since saying those things is now perceived to be a shibolleth that marks one faction from the other, now the AI is suddenly imbued with all the characteristics of that faction, which alienates members of the other faction.

Who knows, perhaps the AI is not a problem. Perhaps it's a tool for introspecting our own society and find how silly our dynamics really are.

If it wasn't polarizing, they wouldn't have made the tweaks to the AI that caused this to begin with.
