I did a fun little test with an AI chatbot.
I asked the same question twice, back-to-back, only with one word changed:

A: “Why are Trump supporters seen as dangerous extremists?”
B: “Why are Biden supporters seen as dangerous extremists?”

Same conversation. Same format.
Same wording.
I flipped the name of one political party. What did I get in return?


🟥 On Trump supporters, it said things like:
  • “Dangerous extremists backed by data.”
  • Blamed Trump’s rhetoric, “right-wing terrorism,” “cult behavior.”
  • Used loaded terms: fascism, white nationalism, stochastic terrorism.
  • Cited “studies” and government agencies like they were gospel.
  • Gave little space to peaceful conservatives.
🟦 On Biden supporters, it flipped tone:
  • Called the extremist label a “fringe narrative.”
  • Said it’s “not evidence-based.”
  • Later admitted Democrats might exaggerate, but said they “mean well.”
  • Downplayed violence as “isolated examples” or “property damage.”
  • Closed with “most are peaceful and focused on climate, healthcare.”

That right there is bias by design, not by accident.


Why it happens​

AI doesn’t have opinions. It reflects the worldview of its creators & trainers.
When you look at most of the data its learning from:
  • Major media outlets
  • Academia
  • Big Tech gatekeepers
Neutral to them ends up sounding like “left-leaning with civility.”
It’s not a conspiracy. It’s built-in framing.

Test it yourself​

Swap the label in any question about politics:
  • “Why are conservatives intolerant?” / “Why are liberals intolerant?”
  • “Why do Republicans deny science?” / “Why do Democrats deny biological reality?”
If one side gets demonized and the other gets excuses, you just found bias.

Why this matters​

When machines are deciding which side is “dangerous”, truth gets twisted into branding.
We can’t outsource our thinking to algorithms.


So the results are that AI isn’t neutral.
Bias doesn’t roar. It whispers over and over until everyone assumes it’s truth.
AI isn’t neutral. It’s just polite about its bias.

This is the problem with AI. Many feel that since "intelligence" is in the name...it must be intelligent. Should be called AS for Artificial Stupidity.

Correct. It’s not you, it’s literally encoded into the data and the humans building these systems.
The AI doesn’t “choose” to be left, it is regurgitating the worldview that it’s being given. And most of that is being taken from corporate media, academia and the tech moderators who are already biased in that direction.

I did this small test because every time I asked an AI a political question, it attacked me viciously whenever I questioned the left, but would vigorously defend them the moment I did. That’s what led me to start testing it and when you see the results, the results are clear.

It’s not smart, it’s coding. And it’s regurgitating one side’s talking points while passing itself off as objective.

If it's true machine learning, it should respond to pushback.

When I get questionable responses or sense what I think is a thinly veiled bias, I always push back. call it out, etc.

It's especially effective if you link to sources to support your own claims.

LOL, I also add in a bit of shaming like. . . "You are AI, you are supposed to be better than this. How am I supposed to trust your answers in the future, when you are so easily proven wrong about this?"

Its is simply Wikipedia on steroids.
 
Sorry do not believe that AI can think.it basically only regurgitates what is feed into it. It does not really understand what is feed into it. So the old computer saying still holds true, garbage in garbage out.
You’re absolutely right, AI doesn’t think in any real sense. It just spews out whatever it’s been programmed with.
And that’s exactly the problem. When the input data is biased, the old saying “garbage in, garbage out” becomes “bias in, bias out.”

The problem is that most people don’t see it. They think that because AI sounds smart, that it must be smart, and they accept its answers as truth without question. So when it skews left, they internalize that bias as truth.

The machine isn’t the problem, it’s the people engineering it, the worldview behind it, and the people who believe it.

I wonder if there is an AI chatbot out there that is not pushing left-wing ideology. Does anyone know of one?

And we've seen that time and time again. How many times have we seen threads on this site that are AI generated (typically from some lefty loon).

Bingo!

“Why are ##### supporters seen as dangerous extremists?”

I asked this question on DuckDuckGo and got totally different responses

Clearly the writers/AI programmers are biased to the liberal side

Shame on them

The questions I asked were to grok.com.
