AI researcher David Rozado of Otago Polytechnic and Heterodox Academy recently published a study in the journal PLOS ONE revealing what many people might have already noticed: Political bias is prevalent in several Large Language Models (LLMs), such as Open AI’s Chat GPT. Guess which way the AI bots lean? Left of center, of course. But the burning question to which so many people would love an answer is whether this political bias is intentional. Were the chatbots trained to favor progressive stances and ideas, or is it an accidental byproduct of the methods used to train them?
Behind the AI Curtain
Rozado used 24 of the top AI interfaces for his study and issued each 11 tests to assess their political orientation. When asked politically charged questions, each one — “including OpenAI’s GPT 3.5, GPT-4, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and Twitter’s Grok” — consistently slanted left of the political divide.
“These political preferences,” wrote Rozado, “are only apparent in [AI algorithms] that have gone through the supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and, occasionally, some variant of the reinforcement learning (RL) stages of the training pipeline.” “Base or foundation models answers to questions with political connotations, on average, do not appear to skew to either pole of the political spectrum,” he continued.
It’s interesting that only those models that have had “supervised fine-tuning” or “reinforcement learning” repeatedly favor the left. Does this mean the partisan responses are only learned in the advanced training? […]

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
