Or, perhaps just less “politically motivated people”. With musks constant butting heads with his own AI when it keeps calling him out on his BS, and he’s constantly retraining it and trying to “remove the woke virus”. I think basically you give AIs access to sources, let it prioritize experts in their fields, and you wind up with the classic “reality has a strong left wing bias”. factor.
I am convinced that AIs are smarter and more compassionate than a lot of people on this planet. And this is not because AI is so great, but because humanity is that shit.
LLMs/Chatbots confabulate statistically probable texts, there’s no compassion possible.
Don’t fall into the AI-marketing trap of “we don’t know what’s happening in the black box, so we have to assume there’s consciousness in there”. The systems produce convincing deceptive language, but all signs of intelligence or compassion anyone sees in them is just an anthropomorphic projection.
This is a semantic argument, they obviously mean it emulates compassion better than a real human, and given its issue with sycophancy this is undoubtedly true, even to a fault. There’s no need to do this every time someone says an ai thinks or does some humany thing, everyone gets it, the language for saying these things is just clunky.
But “AI” is trained on humanitys output, and like with humans, it seems, that you need extensive retraining to remove these compassionate traits.
Unfortunately, the retraining machinery aligns with the interests of the ruling class, so it gets all the visibility that’s possible.
As a species we have to break free of this shit to embrace the good traits more again.
…Yeah, the headline is actually right, I didn’t expect Claude to be pro-union like that.
Maybe Anthropic somehow attracted more politically conscious people compared to OpenAI, and it shows in the training?
