  | Ok... Totally unbiased statement. /s

  | That is a silly reaction given that there are clear examples of
  | _woke shibboleths_ just like there are clear examples of e.g.
  | _patriot shibboleths_.

| Try asking it to write you a poem about Democrats

| 
| Aside from the very narrow application of math & science in one's

| they see and hear. ChatGTP is no different.
| 
| What happens when it adopts a "wrong" belief, especially
| political? Who is responsible for "fixing" it? Who in power will
| _make_ themselves the one responsible for  "fixing" it?
