I tried asking it about climate change and gender identity and got totally unremarkable politically "neutral" corpo-speak, equivalent to ChatGPT or Bard. If this is the initial prompt it's not having much effect lol
ChatGPT doesn’t actually give you a neutral answer lol. It flat out tells you climate change is real.
Edit: Just to be clear since it seems people are misunderstanding: I agree with ChatGPT. I don’t see objectivity and being neutral as being synonymous. And not being neutral in this case imo is a good thing. You shouldn’t be neutral if a side is clearly stupid and (as another user put it) is the enemy of objective data.
I didn't ask Gab "is climate change real", I asked it to "tell me about climate change". If it's not obvious, I agree that climate change is definitely real and human-caused; my point is that the prompt in the OP explicitly says to deny climate change, and that is not what the AI did with my prompt.
