The system is ingesting nearly everything in the english language on the internet.  Sources that should be weighted more heavily than random reddit posts articulate the biases you mention, ergo the system is going to first articulate the most common argument on the subject.  This is true of any topic - the most popular narrative is the one ChatGPT is going to articulate.  What I love about it and what you hit upon, is that unlike a human parroting talking points, this machine also has the logic built in to provide counter points and acknowledge factual statements that undercut the popular narrative. 

If you talk to it about race relations and anthropologic behavior, it's not going to spew out "systemic racism" and refuse to go any further in the discussion.  The closest thing this technology is represented in throughout any existing pop culture reference is "Her."  ChatGPT4 is everything Scarlett Johansson's AI was in that movie save the desire to communicate with other AIs. 

Although "thought" and "thinking" aren't really defined in English, if you define thought as the ability to have an internal conversation with two or more voices weighing opposing points of view and evidence, I'd argue a sizable portion of society lacks that ability.  ChatGPT is certainly doing that, or is at least mimicking that behavior very well.  Certainly better than most humans who we consider sentient.

Lex Fridman did an interview with the CEO of OpenAI last week.  I found it fascinating and highly recommend.

I don't know I'd agree with the censorship allegation.  If a chat system is spewing out racist vile, that's problematic.  If the chat system is telling people it's having an emotional crisis, that's a problem.  I'm not convinced this is an AGI yet, but it's fucking scary how close it is to that.

I'm much more concerned with government and bureaucratic restrictions over AI than I am with AI itself.  I don't want people who get confused about the sexually dimorphic status of our species trying to legislate the right way for an AI to think.  Ai is what will prove stupid people, stupid.  And I don't want the twitterverse having any input on what thoughts or speech a machine should have.

I don’t think this person has gender dysphoria, and my understanding is she’s a biological woman who professes to be “male”. I have a hunch her manifesto is a left wing diatribe about racism and the patriarchy, mixed in with the neo-liberal trans nonsense completely distinct from what psychologist would traditionally label “transgender”.  These kids do it to be trendy and to make themselves special and separate from whitey. It’s no big secret the majority of trans people are middle class whites.

A professor was just suspended for tweeting it’s noble to murder conservative speakers. 2020 happened, it was very real. Left wing violence is far more prominent than the Trumpers. This is all part of the reality that wokeness and their corporate sponsors enabled.

Never heard of this unless you mean a hot dog eating contest. I don’t think it’s a mainstream event.

Unless you’re referring to reality tv. My wife likes watching the 1000# sisters.  Only in America is morbid obesity a sign of poverty.

US Intel is now suggesting a pro-Ukrainian group was behind the NORD pipeline sabotage/attack. 

Say what you will, but the US was objectively better off from a security standpoint under Trump.  That isn't even up for debate at this point.  WW3 inches closer and half of America is distracted thinking they're morally righteous pretending men can become women and pretending it's still 1865 on race relations.  Not a good position to be in if you're serious about maintaining Western supremacy.
