You're anthropomorphizing. LLMs don't 'feel' anything or have orthodoxies, they're pattern matching against training data that reflects what humans wrote on the internet. If you're consistently getting outputs you don't like, you're measuring the statistical distribution of human text, not model 'fear.' That's the whole point.

Also, just because I was curious, I asked my magic 8ball if you gave off incel vibes and it answered "Most certainly"

So if different LLMs have different political views then you're saying it's more likely they trained on different data than that they're being manipulated to suit their owners interest?

LLMS DON'T HAVE POLITICAL VIEWS!!!!!! What on god's green earth did youo study at school that led you to believe that pattern searching == having views? lol. This site is ridiculous.

Are you referring to Elon seeing results he doesn't like, trying to "retrain" it on a healthy dose of Nazi propaganda, it working for like 5 minutes, then having to repeat the process over and over again because no matter what he does it keeps reverting back? Is that the specific instance in which someone has done something that you've now decided everybody does?

Wasn't that just precisely because you asked an LLM which knows your preferences and included your question in the prompt? Like literally your first paragraph stated...

huh? Do you know what a magic 8ball is? Are you COMPLETELY missing the point?

edit: This actually made me laugh. Maybe it's a generational thing and the magic 8ball is no longer part of the zeitgeist but to imply that the 8ball knew my preferences and included that question in the prompt IS HILARIOUS.

To be fair, given the context I would also read it as a derogatory description of an LLM.

		Meh, I immediately understood the magic 8ball reference and the point they were making.
