Incidentally, no Western ai would make a statement on Donald Trump's crimes leading up to the election. Ai propaganda is a serious issue. In China the government enforces it, in America, billionaires.
One second googling chatgpt disproves this, what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you making up such easily disproved BS?
Spreading propaganda for an authoritarian government is a serious issue.
Doing his job at the troll farm.

There are plenty of examples of Ai either refusing to discuss subjects of the elections (I remember meta ai basically just saying "I'm learning how to respond to these questions." Or in the above case, just hand waving away clear issues of wrong doing.
Chat gpt advanced voice mode would constantly activate its guardrails when asked about trump or "politically charged" topics.
No, no, no.
You made the bullshit claim that no western model would. That is utterly false, 2 models out of thousands that don’t isn’t an example of your claim.
ChatGPT is happy to talk about it.
Perhaps now it is, but leading up to the election, I found gpt would outright refuse to discuss Trump in voice mode. Meta ai too. It was very frustrating. It would start, and then respond with something like, "I'm not able to talk about that, yet."
Gpt in general doesn't seem to prefer bringing up current events, because it's training dataset runs many months if not years behind. That's not a conspiracy.

Here is a direct quote from openai:
"In addition to our efforts to direct people to reliable sources of information, we also worked to ensure ChatGPT did not express political preferences or recommend candidates even when asked explicitly."
It's not a conspiracy. It was explicitly thier policy not to have the ai discuss these subjects in meaningful detail leading up to the election, even when the facts were not up for debate. Everyone using gpt during that period of time was unlikely to receive meaningful information on anything Trump related, such as the legitimacy of Biden's election. I know because I tried.
This is ostentatiously there to protect voters from fake news. I'm sure it does in some cases, but I'm sure China would say the same thing.
I'm not pro China, I'm suggesting that every country engages in these shenanigans.
Edit it is obvious that a 100 billion dollar company like openai with it's multude of partnerships with news companies could have made gpt communicate accurate and genuinely critical news regarding Trump, but that would be bad for business.
