LLMs have no awareness of their own bias, and no incentive or ability to mitigate it. A human can, in theory, realize "hey, I tend to be a little harsh on <demographic>, is this negative judgement just that?" while an LLM could never.

In practice I doubt many people are aware of their biases either, or think "it's not bias if it's true" or something. But at least on the less "internally" biased end of humans there will be less external manifestation of it.

I wonder what would happen if you tell the LLM to have no/less bias. What would the 1913 one say
They don't have any concept of their "personal" bias, so they'd imitate whatever training data they received that was tagged as not being biased, if there even was any.
