ai can’t be biased, elon musk.

I recently came across an article from WIRED about Elon Musk’s “TruthGPT” idea, which he told Tucker Carlson about. Apparently, Musk, a South African, wants to create a conservative chatbot, because apparently ChatGPT is woke. The first thought that came to my mind was “what?”. AI can’t be biased, Elon. Maybe people are biased, but AI is artificial. Strange you don’t know that, considering you claim to be a functioning member of society. There is a difference between political bias and general consensus. The nation’s opinions tend to sway liberally because the literal definition of liberal is “open to change”. The world changes. Hence, liberal, progressive, and all those words aren’t just buzzwords. They’re reflective of the flow of life. What many conservatives seem to be unable to understand is that two or three people they met on Facebook outside of their local community aren’t the national majority. These people say liberals don’t listen. But do conservatives listen to what actual scientists say about climate change? No. It upsets me when people over seventy vote on bills that change things for people that will be here when they’re not. What sixty-five-year-old man is going to need an abortion? When is Kevin McCarthy ever going to compete on a sports team against a trans athlete? It’s very important to realize that newscasters’ opinions are not news. Just because something is said on the news, does not mean that that idea itself is news. When a news anchor gives their opinion, it isn’t to be taken as an addendum to the news. However, news without opinion becomes news without emotion. There’s a public channel called NewsNet, which claims to be an unbiased TV news channel, but the anchors never show emotion. They just report the news. They say nothing. They lack emotion, nuance, and relatability. They look sad. Even North Korean newscasters pretend to have opinions better than these guys. When bias goes out the window, so does emotion. A little bit of bias is important. Otherwise, you’re going to sound like a robot. Artificial intelligence bots are not robots, though. AI learns from people. It learns from what it is told. If the majority of people feed AI a certain opinion, that becomes fact to the AI. AI cannot understand nuance. AI doesn’t take emotion into account. It says what it hears. It’s not biased because it doesn’t have an opinion. AI thinks that everything it knows is true. It’s like, what if someone told a blind person who’s never seen before that the sky is yellow? They would believe that as fact until someone told them otherwise. If you told someone that Charlie Chaplin was American because they’ve never heard him speak, they would believe it was true. AI can’t think for itself. It won’t question what it’s being told. AI isn’t biased, maybe people are biased, or maybe the culture has changed. Maybe you’re behind the times, Elon. Maybe it’s you that needs a new opinion.

TGI – Episode 217 “On The Air”

While Mr. Feeny pulls the plug on Cory and Shawn’s pirate radio show in 1995…Will, Danielle and Rider use their present day podcast to guess which cast member is sick. They also wonder why they don’t remember anything about Robin Leach and if this episode is a “good romp,” or a “bad romp.” Also, which music festival would Feeny feel most comfortable at?

And it wouldn’t be a Pod Meets World episode if they didn’t talk about feeling old!

beach bum

ocean eyes and sandy hair

he’s the beach of people

and i don’t even like the beach

but i like him

i like him a lot

i think he’s special

and unique

i wish he’d take a break

from following his friends around

and explore the world on his own

you could get lost in those ocean eyes

and i would

we all need someone special

someone bright eyed and kindhearted

i had so hoped mine would be him

perhaps there’s still a chance

sequel to a daydream

sequel to a daydream

that she had months ago

the storyline is different

the world is new and magical

more than she has ever wanted

she finds a new ideal

a little dream to keep her satisfied

for as long as she’s afraid

she could never say a thing

not one word to him

of course

this time she is not shaking

because this boy does make her nervous

but not like the one before

her poetry is somber

not full of utter glee

yet even though she wants to

she’d never let the feeling out

the seashells in his eyes

and the sandy beaches in his hair

she seems to think it’s worth it

and life won’t get in the way

but the sequel to this daydream

is happier and kind

the sort to make her feel things

no matter how hard she tries

avoidance is the safest

the route to keep the status quo

nothing makes her feel this way

and she wants to let him know

something i wish i could say

this is for you, 23.

i don’t know why, but i like you.

i like your smile.

your eyes, the color of seashells.

i like the way you seem to always know what’s next.

you’re prepared for anything, i guess.

i like that you care.

i like something about you.

but i can’t figure out what it is.

so i guess i will wait and see.

because all i can think about is you, 23.

so much for a productive afternoon.

i wish i could tell you all of this.

but i can’t.

not yet.

not now.

i need a nap.
