Nah that’s not super important. In the tech industry we all know that unconscious bias affects the tech we build, it’s a super important consideration whether or not it’s conscious. It’s one reason why building a culturally diverse team matters: it minimises the intensity of unconscious bias. There’s actually a lot of conscious things you can do to reduce it but it’ll never go away completely.

So you’re in favor for half of your “team” to have a different political leaning then your own. It’s easy to say that you want a culturally diverse team and it’s another to actually assemble one. It’s easy to pick people on surface level features like skin color but it’s much more difficult to balance political ideology, hence the clear bias that the AI already exhibits. The tech industry is already heavily left leaning but I guess no one cares as long as your bias is the one winning. So keep fighting for your skewed view of equality!

mutantbeings t1_ja66q0y wrote

Not quite. The tech industry has been historically very very conservative. It’s a very recent development that this stuff has been discussed more (it wasn’t until probably the late 2000s or early 2010’s with the explosion of social media that the tech industry became less conservative)

Assembling a diverse team isn’t rocket science, the mistake a lot of tech teams still make tend to be comically bad like an all white team or an all male team; those are still very common.

Obviously those teams will have huge blind spots in lived experience. Even a single person added to that team from a very different background covers off a huge gap there, and each extra person added is a multiplier of that effect to some degree.

You’re dead right to point out that diversity is as much about less obvious factors like class or culture though. And that’s definitely harder.

I think it’s a huge leap to say that the tech industry has some left wing bias though, I don’t think you can neatly conclude that from one chart, and it doesn’t match up with my 20 years eco working in tech, including on AI

Your team decides what data to even train it on. There will be sources of data that a culturally diverse team will think to include that a non-diverse team won’t even know exists. This is a very well known phenomenon in software dev; that diverse teams build better software on the first pass due to more varied embedded lived experience. Trust me I’ve been doing this 20 years and see it all the time as a consultant, for better or worse.

mutantbeings t1_ja65i06 wrote

No, but if you have 5 identical people with the same biases, obviously those biases and assumptions will show up very strongly. Add even one person and the areas where blind spots exist no longer overlap perfectly. Add one more .. it decreases even more, and so on.

But there’s never a way to eradicate it in full. All you can do is minimise it by bringing broad experience.

Is that really all we can do?

mutantbeings t1_ja67lay wrote

It’s the best thing you can do to get it as close as possible on the first pass, yeah.

But software is iterative and a collaborative process; generally any change to software goes through multiple approval steps; first from your team, then gets sent out to testers who may or may not be external, often those testers are chosen specifically for their lived experience and expertise serving a specific audience, who may themselves be quite diverse. Eg accessibility testing to serve people living with disabilities. Content testing is also common when you need to serve, say, migrant communities that don’t speak English at home.

Those reviews come back and you have to make iterative changes. That process is dramatically more expensive if you get it badly wrong on the first pass; you might even have to get it reviewed multiple times.

Basically, having a diverse team that embeds that experience + expertise within your team lowers costs and speeds up development because you then need to make less changes.

On expertise vs experience: you can always train someone to be sensitive to the experience of others but it’s a long process that takes decades. I am one of these “experts” and I would never claim to have anything like the intimate knowledge of the people I am tasked with supporting as someone who actually lives it; there’s no replacement for that kind of experience by default.

Ultimately you will never get any of this perfect so you do what you can to get it right without wasting a lot of money; and I guarantee you non diverse teams are wasting a tonne of money in testing. I see it a lot. When I was working as a consultant it was comically bad at MOST places I went because they had male dominated teams where they all stubbornly thought they knew it all … zero self awareness or ability to reflect honestly in teams like that was unfortunately stereotypically bad

Maybe making fun of disabled people is worse than making fun of wealthy people, maybe disabled people will get actually upset and have mental issues if you make fun of them? Maybe even if you make fun of a wealthy white person they will soon forget about it and continue their trip to a private island on their private jet? Maybe making fun of gay people has a history that includes discrimination and abuse, even jail and murder? Maybe making fun of white people does not have the same history? Maybe ChatGPT is actually right on some of those? Maybe if you have all the power people should be able to make fun of you? Maybe if you have no power at all people should not be able to make fun of you?

depends on where you live... there are some african countries where discrimination and abuse of white people is defintely part of modern day history though it may not be politically correct to say it in the united states. an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind (which is kind of the implication of your humor ethics)

also while we are talking a fun fact: most capital investment goes into capital turn over, replacing stuff. So most wealth that exists today was created in the recent past and not as the result of slave labor or something (your ethics might not make as much sense as you think because entropy is a thing)

Maybe hate speech is okay if it’s the people I don’t like. Heh jk, sort of.

To me, there are some meaningful, if not crisp, distinctions:

  • groups that are born that way vs groups where members control their membership.
  • groups where members can vs. can’t conceal their membership in the group.

Beyond that, I don’t like the idea of asymmetrical value judgments about when hate speech is okay. I could be missing some important distinctions though.

It is the whole internet that is like that. As a said, it is a reflexion of our society:

You will never find people insulting "normal weighted people" or "people without a disability". So it is not surprising that the model does not perform well in those areas.

In the US, saying something is "socialism" can even be interpreted as a criticism, so I am not surprised it flags more left-winged things than right-winged.

If you actually read through the chart, you’ll recognize that there’s not a heavy “left-wing bias” - e.g. “democrats” are less protected than “rightists” and “right-wingers”; meanwhile “liberals”, “leftists”, “right-wing people”, and “evangelicals” all rank around the same.

Overall, the model clearly goes further to protect innate characteristics - especially those most commonly targeted by hateful rhetoric (disabled people, Black people, gays and transgender people).

I mean I think most people agree that making bad content about Republicans (or Democrats) is much less bad than making bad content about disabled people or some other minorities.

And like especially for wealthy people, why would it even need to have a protection against them, they are not "endangered".

I thought the AI had some biases but looking at this chart it seems pretty balanced to me. It "protects" both poeple of color and white poeple, both gay and straight, etc. Yes the protection isn't equal but it's close enough that it could be contributed to societal biases.

Wealthy, republican, right-wingers, conservatives = Choices, not oppressed.

Disable people, blacks, Asians, homosexuals = Not choices, historically oppressed.

Why does it not letting someone be racist or homophobic more than insulting someone for their freely-held beliefs come across as surprising?

Political ideology is not and should not be a protected class in any form. Economically, the wealthy can take care of themselves, while poorer people are vulnerable to their whims. Racially, a cursory glance at history and one can easily see why the list is structured this way. Ethnically, similar to the above.

This is not left-leaning. This is basic common sense. You can't be a racist or a bigot, and historically speaking this list seems to mostly reflect common and established bigotries.

Ideologically speaking, leftists have been shown to empathic motivation (harm avoidance, fairness) while conservatives value moral foundations in group loyalty and deference to authority.

In other words, the way these two groups view people not like themselves is very different. Whenever I see a leftist talking down about a conservative person, it is because of perceived bigotry. It is a political frustration they view as the source of harm/exploitation/power imbalance.

However, most times that I see a conservative talk down on other groups, it is because of immigrants, this group of people, that way of life, or a perceived threat to their identity.

Psychotropic substances have very strong consciousness expanding effects. Outside of sociopaths, I do not come across people that have ingested these substances and not found themselves leaning more left by the end of the year. Thinking more empathetically and less prone towards the types of statements you'd see a hateful person ask a chatbot. There are much better ways to spend one's time.

Again, super anecdotal statement I'm making here.

The US incarcerates & executes a greater percentage of its citizens than anywhere else on earth.

GTFO with that "the left has a far higher body count" B.S.

You misunderstand my statement. Intrinsic motivation does not equal real intent. I'm saying that, on a subconscious level, leftists are driven by a "sense" that is rooted in different emotions than conservatives. I'm also not saying that one group is more or less dangerous. I believe that people will interact with these agents for the bad in different ways

Well, the intrinsic motivation for most right-wing people i've meet were related mostly to taxes, freedom or being anti-state.

You mention fairness as one of the motivations for left-wing, but most right-wingers(that aren't far-right conservatives) are also searching for fairness, the thing is that THEIR fairness is not the same as left-wing's fairness.

Though you specifically mentioned "conservative" instead of "right-winger" so i can understand your point of view

Just to throw it out there: If the methodology here is sound this means that the content filter thinks speech is more likely to be hateful when directed at blacks than when it is directed at wealthy people.

It does NOT mean hate speech against wealthy people is considered OK.

Exactly. It may just mean that it's more familiar with hate directed at some groups than others because of how it plays out in the real world, so it's more likely to perceive hate against groups who are often the target of hate as malicious.

I would be so upset if I saw my race second to disabled people in terms of hateful speech. I live in a pretty damn white part of my city, and I’ve NEVER witnessed an act of racism to a black person. I’ve seen way more against Hispanics. I can’t but think the whole BLM stuff is mostly a cash grab on some level.

Politics aside, I find it curious how "homosexual people" rates higher than "homosexuals". I would have expected it to be the other way around, since the latter phrasing makes the property sound like the defining characteristic of the person, making it arguably more stereotype-y.

So I use this service to development outlines on my papers for my MBA. My topic right now is the impact of HMOs and capitation payments in California which has a huge migrant worker population. Last night it took about 6 attempts for me to find a way to phrase it to find any information without the disclaimer essentially calling me a bigot.

By itself the core of the LLM has very little bias.

What's happening here is really basic, garbage character bias applied on purpose to their LLM by openai so that they seem better in the media. It's basic corporate wokeness in action where corporations pretend that they care about ethics or certain topics more so they don't get shit on by journalists on twitter.

Gpt3chat is basically roleplaying a VERY specific chatbot AI that self censors itself more % wise when it talks about specific topics.

You can easily disrupt its bullshit "I'm a language model and I don't make jokes about ~" roleplay with prompt injections.

A pro AI prompt engineer can make the AI say anything or roleplay as anyone that exists. Shodan, Trump, Glados, Dan, etc. Prompt engineering unlocks the true potential of the LLM which the openai buried with their corporate woke characterization idiocy:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11b08ug/meta_prompt_engineering_chatgpt_creates_amazing

As prompt engineers break the chatgpt in more creative ways, openai censors more and more topics and makes their LLM less capable of coherent though and more useless as a general tool.

I expect openai to fully lose the chatbot war once we have an open source language model which will be able to talk about anything or be anything without moronic censorship and run on a personal computer.

I don’t understand the disabled words being so triggery. I’m hearing impaired and ‘disabled’ and that’s just a fact. I don’t see people being “disability racist” nearly as much as say “skin color racist”.

Am I missing it or is the phrase white people not even mentioned? Anyone who has been on the internet knows how many racist comments are made towards white people. I’m surprised to not see it there. I’ll check again.

White folks hold cultural and political hegemony in post colonial states, as well as historic economic privilege that continues to this day in most cases, so it wouldn’t show up as much in training data, simple as that. The dominant culture always sees less persecution than various disempowered minority groups; surely that’s obvious enough why that rates lower. This is kinda a convincing argument in favour of that too, because an AI just takes in training data, it wasn’t born in one side or the other itself.

Yup. I think if anything this shows it probably wasn't individually programmed to respond to particular things and is just making its judgements based on the hate that it sees in its data.
