More fundamentally, it's only regurgitating associations. That's all LLM "AI" does. There's nothing deeper however much we want to believe otherwise. What it does is hold up a mirror. In a sense each model is a "personality" based on what it was fed as training. The Meta model that associates children with terrorism is a reflection of the values of the company that created it and those who contributed data. They selected the training data. It is not representative of a global "mind of humanity" but of the narrow demographic of the kind of people who use Facebook.

As a commenter here put it recently: "Why are all mirrors so ugly?"
