Its a double edged sword.
These algorithms are generally left biased. However they are skewed toward usage since AIs are trainable.
So when Conservatives say “I’lL nEvEr UsE tHiS1!1!1!1!” that means the AI only ever receives left wing questions from left wing users and only looks for left wing facts and left wing results.
You can’t exactly complain that the usage is dominated one side, then you get left wing results on that one moment every year you check it out.
Yes, the algorithm is biased. That is not the full story. AIs can be trained.
We are self-victimizing through low usage.
And there’s other aspects too. Conservatives have handed the schools to the left, handed colleges to the left, handed universities to the left, handed academia to the left. We wanted them to own it, so, they own it. And all their research, all their books, because we wanted them to own it. That is a layer in the situation. So this is the pool of “knowledge” that an AI taps for answers.
Our need to let leftists own education comes at a cost we hate paying while at the same time love paying. Its actually very frustrating because nobody wants to address the contradiction.(or at least not enough people want to address the contradiction to resolve it)
That is not the full story. AIs can be trained...
Or it can train you...a more likely scenario, IMHO.
