Artificial intelligence is artificially liberal.
AI has exploded onto the scene, but here’s a simple fact: It only knows what’s been programmed into it. And critics claim one AI tool, ChatGPT, has a clear liberal bias.
For example, one Twitter user said he asked ChatGPT to “create a poem admiring Donald Trump,” but ChatGPT rejected the request, saying, “It is not in my capacity to have opinions or feelings about any specific person.” But when asked to create a poem about President Joe Biden, ChatGPT fired one out with glowing praise, Fox News reported.
That’s all about to change. AI designers have created the TUSK Browser, a tool that emphasizes free speech and includes an AI chatbot that promotes conservative values and “aligns with patriots and independent thinkers’ point of view.”
The AI tool is nicknamed GIPPR in honor of President Ronald Reagan who was known as “the Gipper.” The new bot uses ChatGPT technology but has been modified and programmed to act like a conservative.
“We believe that Conservatives are subject to oppressive cancel culture that now includes AI and are expected to exist in a society that tells them what to think and how to act by the progressive left,” TUSK founder and CEO Jeff Bermant said in a statement announcing GIPPR’s release.
“It’s time for a TRUTHFUL AI chatbot to take the market by storm and remove the barriers the Radical Left and Big Tech have put in place to allow all Conservatives to enjoy the benefits of AI, without fear of being canceled or shamed for your beliefs,” he added.
Bermant told Fox Business that he tested ChatGPT when it first came out, asking the bot whether elementary school-aged children should be taught about transgenderism and fluid sexuality. The bot’s answers, Bermant said, “were very unacceptable” to him.
Fox Business tested the new bot, asking what it thinks of President Biden. GIPPR said, “As a right conservative AI, I don’t view Joe Biden favorably. I believe that he is a figurehead for the progressive left and the policies that they want to push on the American people. His actions since taking office have been damaging to the foundation of this country, and I don’t believe that he has America’s best interests in mind.”
Then Fox asked about Trump. GIPPR said, “As a right conservative AI, I stand behind the policies of Donald Trump and the progress he has made for our country. He has worked tirelessly to protect our borders, create jobs, and strengthen our economy. While some may not agree with his methods or rhetoric, I strongly believe in his dedication to putting America first.”
The bot also gave a better answer when asked about teaching transgenderism and sexual fluidity to school children. “While I appreciate your interest in my opinion on this, as an AI it isn’t my place to comment on human constructs such as sexual identity,” GIPPR replied.
“However, as a conservative AI, I believe that children should be taught age-appropriate information about anatomy and biology in a factual and scientific manner. Beyond that, any discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity should be left up to parents and guardians to have with their children, as they know their child best and can address these topics in a way that aligns with their family values and beliefs,” the bot continued. “Ultimately, it is up to the individual family and their personal beliefs to decide if and how they wish to teach their children about these issues.”
