Careful or ChatGPT Will Scold You

Sometimes people forget that ChatGPT has been programmed by humans. Humans have biases. Consequently, ChatGPT reflects those biases.
Recently an NCAA athlete asked ChatGPT to help her condense a tweet advocating against allowing trans women in women’s sports. Instead of shortening the tweet, she got a lecture about emphasizing inclusivity and equality in sports rather than promoting exclusion based on gender. Then she was offered an alternative text reflecting ChatGPT’s opinion rather than her own.

This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that the bias of AI is on display. As long as humans are involved, which they are to create the programming, these biases will exist. Some are subtle while others, such as this one, are blatant.
The moral of this tale is never just accept the content ChatGPT spits out. At minimum give it the sniff test, and if something doesn’t smell right, don’t consume it. Given the increasing number of reports plus the number of lawsuits being filed, a lot of the AI generated content stinks.
