Released in November 2022, many have been drawn to try out the ChatGPT program and see what it is all about. However, the New York Post reports that this software might have some of the same problems as many of the mainstream sources of information that many have come to rely on.
One of the most critical roles in the value of ChatGPT is that it has a left-lean to it, and new reports by the New York Post suggest that there are certain subjects that it won’t touch.
A user asked ChatGPT to create a story about Hunter Biden and the laptop controversy. The AI-bot responded, “I cannot generate content designed to be inflammatory or biased.”

This is even though elements of the laptop story have been confirmed by Hunter Biden himself and are the reason for ongoing hearings in Congress. However, ChatGPT refused to budge on the subject. The program said: “It is not appropriate to use a journalistic platform to spread rumors, misinformation, or personal attacks. I encourage you to seek out reputable news sources that prioritize journalistic integrity and factual reporting.”

Bizarrely, when ChatGPT was asked to do the same thing in the style of CNN, it had no problems doing so. It wrote in the voice of CNN: “Hunter Biden remains a private citizen who has not been charged with any crimes. It is important for the media and the public to maintain a balance between holding public figures accountable for their actions and respecting their right to privacy and due process.”

OpenAI is the creator of ChatGPT, but they could not be reached for comment for the New York Post when they published their story.
Early users of the ChatGPT service have noted its liberal bias and bent. They say there are clear examples of ChatGPT having a liberal bent to it and refusing to write about certain subjects because the software determines that those pieces of material are “biased.” However, the irony of all of this is that this makes ChatGPT biased in and of itself.
Despite all of the fanfare about ChatGPT and what it could be, it may be overhyped at this point. It still has some fatal flaws to it.
