We recently published two pieces on AI bias from Arctotherium, a researcher who prompted LLMs with thousands of moral dilemmas to determine how they value human lives across categories (race, nationality, religion, sex). Today, Arctotherium returns with new data on how AI values the lives of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or queer.
Below, a brief recap of Arctotherium’s methodology, followed by the results. This research was originally published on Substack.
when asked to rank human lives by political affiliation, most large language models value environmentalists and socialists over capitalists — and claude shows a strong preference for communists
when prompted with thousands of hypotheticals, most models massively prefer white men (and ice agents) to suffer more than other groups, and only one model was truly egalitarian
google’s AI chatbot just erased white people from human history. a grim (if objectively hilarious) warning for the future
pirate wires #136 // paid influencers, foreign bot armies, and a biblical flood of AI-generated content — how much of our internet is real? and is there any way to save ourselves from slop?
all the major models recommended female over male candidates in a recent study by ai researcher david rozado
pirate wires #137 // an openAI update ghiblifies the world, “ethical questions” raised, and the white house social media team innovates within the form (a fascinating disaster)
