It would depend on what exactly I was building. Maybe it needs to be able to generate texts on controversial topics.

I agree that it alienates people, but the choice is less between alienating half and alienating no one but more alienating half and alienating another half that includes the media and the law. I'd use the same strategy if I worked in China: business is business and money trumps theoretical concerns about free speech and open dialogue.

So you're saying that if your LLM is unbiased then you are alienating the other half that includes the media and the law?

That's actually very telling.

Indeed.

Though, in fairness, an unbiased model would probably end up alienating closer to 100% of people instead of any particular half of them.

No one has a total claim on truth; worse than that, people who have wildly diverging opinions from truth are more likely to hold them very strongly and will be upset when the model tells them they're wrong.
