      I admit I might be biased towards AI because I believe AI isn’t biased because it doesn’t have any desire, to sleep, breath, eat, etc. Everyone is capable of critical thinking, the question is, is it good or not? And since AI is trained by humans and humans have critical thinking, I don’t see why AI cannot develop one, although it may not be as good as some people.

        All AI has to be biased, that bias is the training data and (inherently biased) humans select the training set. Funnily enough, the weights on each node of a neutral net are even sometimes called biases!

        If any AI wasn’t biased it would simply produce unintelligible garbage.

          I’m a computer scientist, and I will tell you right now that AI is biased.

          AI is also constantly wrong.

          ChatGPT lies about science.

          ChatGPT lies about history

          ChatGPT lies about politics

          ChatGPT lies about nonexistent programming libraries

          ChatGPT lies about nonexistent legal cases

          ChatGPT lies about nonexistent criminal backgrounds

          The only time I would trust ChatGPT is when there are no right and wrong answers.

        That’s not AI works. It’s exactly as biased as the humans who produced the content on which it is trained.

        That said, I also don’t believe these models have been trained exclusively on white straight men’s conversations, that would take some effort to achieve.

        More likely, it’s been trained on internet forums, so similar to what it’s being asked to moderate. And as long as there’s a human at the other end of an appeal, it should be fine.

        All AI does is look for patterns to complete. You train it on some set of data such as Reddit, which can be biased, and set some sort of feedback for whether it makes the right choice, which can be biased, and find out what patterns it thinks it sees, which may be biased, to apply to new situations
