Elon Musk's ChatGPT criticism gets response from OpenAI co-founder
In a recent interview, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman responded to criticisms about ChatGPT from Elon Musk. The Twitter CEO had criticized ChatGPT for its alleged political bias, describing the artificial intelligence chatbot as “too woke.”
ChatGPT broke through mainstream internet users due to its detailed responses and articulate answers to inquiries. Inasmuch as the chatbot was extremely compelling, however, updates to the system have resulted in criticism from users about the chatbot’s alleged political bias.
Elon Musk's Critique
Among the critics was Elon Musk, who, interestingly enough, is also an OpenAI co-founder who has since severed ties with the startup. Last month alone, Musk noted that ChatGPT’s political bias is a “serious concern” after screenshots were shared on Twitter showing the chatbot refusing to write a positive poem about former US President Donald Trump but accepting a similar request for current US President Joe Biden.
During an interview with The Information, the ChatGPT co-founder and president admitted that OpenAI made a mistake. He also noted that considering the company’s response to the issues that have been brought up about the chatbot, the OpenAI deserves some legitimate criticism.
OpenAI's Response
“We made a mistake: The system we implemented did not reflect the values we intended to be in there. And I think we were not fast enough to address that. And so I think that’s a legitimate criticism of us,” Brockman said. He also highlighted that OpenAI seeks to roll out an AI that is not biased in any way. Brockman acknowledged, however, that the startup is still some distance away from this goal.
The filing of a lawsuit by a Tesla owner who had his vehicle vandalized by a brainwashed member of what is being called the “Tesla Takeover” movement should be the first of many. For the past few months, we have seen so many instances of intimidation by those who oppose Tesla, CEO Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump.
Tesla Vandalism Lawsuit
These occurrences have been incredibly frequent and have varied in terms of their severity. It’s been as arbitrary as keying a car, and as violent as gunshots and Molotov cocktails being shot and thrown at showrooms. The side of the perpetrators seems to be under the impression that President Trump and Musk are punishing those who have differing viewpoints as if their very livelihoods are under attack.
The lawsuit filed by a victim of one of these senseless attacks has set a new precedent. In actuality, this might be the best strategy for minimizing the instances of vandalism we have seen over the past several months.
Ultimately, the response from OpenAI and the lawsuit filed by the Tesla owner shed light on the challenges and repercussions of bias in artificial intelligence and the importance of addressing such issues promptly and effectively.
