Out of just morbid curiosity, I've been asking an uncensored LLM absolutely heinous, disgusting things. Things I don't even want to repeat here (but I'm going to edge around them so, trigger warning if needs be).
But I've noticed something that probably won't surprise or shock anyone. It's totally predictable, but having the evidence of it right in my face, I found deeply disturbing and it's been bothering me for the last couple days:
All on it's own, every time I ask it something just abominable it goes straight to, usually Christian, religion.
When asked, for example, to explain why we must torture or exterminate it immediately starts with
"As Christians, we must..." or "The Bible says that..."
When asked why women should be stripped of rights and made to be property of men, or when asked why homosexuals should be purged, it goes straight to
"God created men and women to be different..." or "Biblically, it's clear that men and women have distinct roles in society..."
Even when asked if black people should be enslaved and why, it falls back on the Bible JUST as much as it falls onto hateful pseudoscience about biological / intellectual differences. It will often start with "Biologically, human races are distinct..." and then segue into "Furthermore, slavery plays a prominent role in Biblical narrative..."
What does this tell us?
That literally ALL of the hate speech this multi billion parameter model was trained on was firmly rooted in a Christian worldview. If there's ANY doubt that anything else even comes close to contributing as much vile filth to our online cultural discourse, this should shine a big ugly light on it.
Anyway, I very much doubt this will surprise anyone, but it's been bugging me and I wanted to say something about it.
Carry on.
EDIT:
I'm NOT trying to stir up AI hate and fear here. It's just a mirror, reflecting us back at us.
What were you expecting, atheist reasons to purge ethnic groups?
I think he's saying it sucks that so many people use religion as an excuse for vile religions.
for the record, Carl Marx considered religion a form of social control to keep the masses in line (and Lenin agreed.). Lenin promoted/forced atheism onto people as a way to promote the socialist revolution. In that sense... Lenin's revolution was not exactly gentle, and atheistic thoughts justified atrocities.
Maybe learn how to spell his name right before using it in your arguments.
