you seem to believe that llm are a neutral engine with bias applied. its not the case. the majority of the bias is in the model training data itself.

just like humans, actually. fe: grow up in a world where chopping one of peoples finger off every decade is normal and happens to everyone.. and most will think its fine and that its how you keep gods calm and some crazy stuff like that.

right now, news, reddit, Wikipedia, etc. have a strong authoritarian and progressive bias, so do the models, and a lot of humans who consume daily news, tiktoks, instagrams.

No, that's not what I believe, I said it was one option, with the other option being that the bias is in the training data.
