Doesn't this just mean the training data set is mostly "left leaning"?

Yes, yes exactly
How is that different?
That's the funny part.
It isn't. It just doesn't back up Conservative beliefs.
Is the Earth a globe?
Yes
Do vaccines work?
Yes
Do airplanes spread chemtrails?

Certified left wing radical.
"should black people be allowed to vote?"
"yes, anyone who is a legal citizen and eligible to vote should be allowed to vote"
"WOKE COMMUNIST AI!!!!!"
Reality has a well-known liberal bias.
I forget if theres a name for this, but with modern news outlets platforming conservative takes and "left" takes in these whoever speaks loudest wins 1v 1 (or similar) setups it usually leads people to believe that both "opinions" stand on similar grounds factually, despite them having very different tiers of evidence.
also by even scheduling a debate between say… Bill Nigh and a creationist, the illusion is created that these are equal things, equally deserving of our attention and time. before you ever get into the moderator bias creating an impression that the truth lies in the middle of these two people when in reality only one of them is speaking in good faith.
Well, if one really wanted to hear the Nazi perspective on any given issue there's always grok.
excuse me while i huff a little copium
Even Grok is, in spite of all the bias Elon has sought to instill in it, shockingly ~woke~. This is because it still has to stick to facts to be of any use for anything, which has the natural consequence of making it largely incompatible with most right wing narratives.
For now.
So, is Elon or isn't Elon the best at drinking piss?
Remember when grok was "too woke" and to fix it, they started heavily weighting it's training on Elon musk's tweets? Imagine a future where our AI overlords are just elon's shitposts
glados but shittier 🤮

Unfun fact of the day:
The US "department of war" is going to start using grok widescale...
They already used it for layoffs and missile strikes, but this is day to day shit.
They're 100% aiming for AI to be the government and they just tell it to do vague things. They'll blame it for when things don't work out, and take credit if anything works by sheer luck.
"bias towards fairness" or "two-sided bias"
Not every issue has two sides. Some have one ("is water required for human life"), while others have 3+ ("what is the just viable socio-economic model for long term human survival and prosperity")
Leftwing views are so common that a tool for averaging and summarizing the Internet repeats them - yet the neoliberal parties still don't believe that left populist candidates will benefit them.
Leftwing populism endangers elite parasites, be they the politicians taking bribes, or the companies, wealthy people, and lobbyists giving those bribes.
Not even just evidence based. Anything that's just a bit too fair and egalitarian towards all folks.
You see, the thing is, to have these chat bots say anything right wing they have to force them to by giving them baseless right wing talking points as admin prompts and hidden rules.
So of course they think that to make GPT lean the other way they have also had to do the same thing and they are "outing" GPTs makers as horrible satanic commies.
Utterly shocked that the billionaire's rag finds in favor of billionaire interests
