> I can see how in the next few years politicians and judges will use LLMs as neutral experts.

While also noting that "neutral" is not well-defined, I agree. They will be used as if they were.

Will they though?

We humans are very good at rejecting any information that doesn’t confirm our priors or support our political goals.

Like, if ChatGPT says (say) vaccines are good/bad, I expect the other side will simply attack and reject it as misinformation, conspiracy, and similar.

From what I can see, LLMs default to being sychophants; acting as if a sychophant was neutral is entirely compatible with the cognitive bias you describe.
