I’m not sure if you’re trying to say that it’s left or right, but it’s perhaps relevant to point out that that article is about the political bias of all major models. And right there in the subhead, they explicitly say that the models have a left bias.

Funnily, as a European all the models appear extremely right wing. The political spectrum is shifted far more right in the US than in Europe, so what is left there is still at least conservative here.

I ask my AI to give me citations science and pro/con arguments when discusssing anything that could be shaped by cultural biases.

> The political spectrum is shifted far more right in the US than in Europe

Is it Farage, Le Pen, or Weidel pulling the spectrum so far leftward?

You're aware the UK isn't in the EU right, and hasn't been for quite some time?

Also that AfD and National Rally aren't yet, and have never been in control of the German or French parliaments.

So yes, it's in the US that it's shifted. US money and influence (Musk and Theil money and feet on the ground influence through figures like Bannon), as well as US social media companies running US aligned algorithms, are an enormously significant factor in the rise of the right in Europe.

They said European not EU, don't conflate the two. The UK is still in the continent of Europe.
It's literally an island, off the coast of continental Europe.
