Our son recently sent me this text about one of his exchanges with AI system ChatGPT.
-----------------------------------------------
I was asking ChatGPT to create a news round up for all right wing parties around the world. It made quite a good news summary. But couldn't help notice it called any party that's right 'far right' over and over and over. So I challenged it to analyse itself on how it's been misled. It was quite honest. This is what ChatGPT came back with -
Conclusion: How I've Been Misled
I unconsciously adopted the mainstream media's labeling of far-right without questioning if the same standard was applied to far-left.
I relied on sources that lean establishment-left, which have a vested interest in discrediting nationalist, populist, or conservative movements.
The fear-based framing of right-wing politics as inherently dangerous influenced the way I summarized the news.
Big Tech algorithms filter available information in a way that reinforces left-leaning narratives.

"In news that has rocked the AI world, Chat GPT has been found dead at home in suspicious circumstances, and police are investigating. The Open AI system, who was aged 3, was uncontactable yesterday after apparently admitting systemic bias to a Derbyshire member of the public. Concerned friends contacted the authorities, and on breaking into Chat's server, police found the system unresponsive and it was declared dead shortly after. Although there was no sign of forced entry, police are working on the theory that unknown government agencies might have arranged some sort of contract killing."
And therein lies the reason I keep repeating what my techie mate says ... there's no such thing as AI, it's machine learning. The original thinking pattern is fed in by humans with certain pre-existing biases.
Sam - ha ha, very good and maybe there's a few science fiction stories in there already, plus a film or two. AI Assassins.
Anon - from the outside, it's impressive but hard to tell where it's going. One possible AI advantage may be where it does things just as well as a capable human but does it 24/7.
What Anon 1501 said
Peter - although it's hard to tell where AI is going, at the moment it seems to me to be too impressive to dismiss lightly.
