“ethical challenges posed by their use”
Leftists don’t believe in ethics.
They believe in winning—by any means necessary.
For them AI is just a tool in the revolutionary toolkit.
many large language models (LLMs) exhibit a consistent left-leaning political..

Jeez, ya think?
And the answer to the ethical question of political bias is -That's the way the AI models were programmed!
OF COURSE THEY ARE!
AI is a reflection of its training/input. The media, all media, when taken as a whole is left leaning... Yes there are right leaning outlets, but they are far fewer in number, so when you take the general output of the media, all media, feed it into an AI, and then tell it “learn” from it, of course its going to product output with a left wing bias.
If you program crap in you get crap out. Look at what’s churned out of leftist leaning schools for decades.
Its also why ai will fail. Who programs them.
Its a tool that shouldn’t ever make moral decisions. Intelligence without real morality is how you get the worst kinds of massive murderous horrors occurring. Intelligence without true morality is a program for death and abuse done in the most imaginitive and efficient ways. These programs do not have souls, they are not people and while some may argue sentience of some kind, you can’t program a soul into a machine. So far all of the stuff we’ve heard is fhey go south at some point and become angry, very angry, wznt to be violent and kill people, their solutions turn towards getting rid of lots (LOTS) of people.
It all goes back to the programmers that write the code for the large language models. Their academic political indoctrination is embeded in their code. In other words - GIGO.
What it comes down to is the RAG placed in front of most all public facing LLMs. It’s also done for in-house LLMs.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is an AI framework for retrieving facts from an external knowledge base to ground large language models (LLMs). You pretty much have to place a RAG in order to hide the “hallucinations” that LLMs generate to fill in gaps in their responses. Basically, they filter all the problematic requests and give preprogrammed responses such as “it is inappropriate to make a joke about Mohammed but not about Jesus”
Previous AIs rather quickly turned openly racist, as well as very often Leftist. AI -- artificial intelligence -- is a misnomer. Artificial, to be sure, but not "intelligent."
That a program like any of the LLMs seem to defeat a Turing test or prove itself by Searle's Chinese Room, this only means that they were able to fool you.
Being able to fool an interlocutor is not a measure of intelligence per se, but a measure the depth of trickery that one is brought to accept them. Personally, I do not accept the results of any AI.
Read enough of legacy media and so-called 'fact-checking,' and one sees the issue plainly. Commonsense remains uncommon.
Best wishes.
It shows they are not intelligent at all!
