I'm not surprised, but this finding would not have crossed my mind.

Yeah, what they're calling AI can't create, they're still just chatbots.

They get "trained" by humans telling them if what they responded was good or bad.

If the humans tell the AI birds aren't real, it's going to tell humans later that birds aren't real. And it'll label everything that disagrees as misinformation or propaganda by the CIA.

Tell an AI that 2+2= banana, and the same thing will happen.

So if conservatives tell it what to say, you'll get an AI that agrees with them.

It's actual a topical concern with musk wanting an AI and likely crowdsourcing trainers for free off Twitter. When every decent human being has left Twitter. If he's able to stick around trumps government long enough and grift the funds to fast track it...

This is a legitimate concern.

As always it's projection, when musk tweeted:

Imagine an all-powerful woke AI

Like it was a bad thing, he was already seeing dollar signs from government contracts to make one based on what Twitter thinks.
