I don’t think wanting apolitical information is a weird hill to die on. I didn’t read the last commenters link but maybe it just didn’t give the best examples. If you search, you will definitely find examples where it will refuse to answer a question that is right leaning but happily respond with a left leaning answer.

To me that doesn’t “feel” like it was learned from training data but it feels more like a bias was programmed into the interface. Likely with good intentions but it’s catching edge cases that even the authors probably didn’t intend.

I do believe it will get better. I don’t think ChatGPT is a political secret weapon of the left. With Covid, the last US election, civil unrest, there is a lot of fear about putting out false or negatively insightful information. It’s a tough problem to solve. I don’t think ChatGPT should be responsible for solving it but they should try to make it feel less biased on the overly aggressive parts.
