ChatGPT leans liberal, new research shows

Park's team tested 14 different chatbot models by asking them a series of political questions on topics such as immigration, climate change, the role of government and same-sex marriage. The research, released earlier this summer, showed that a series of models developed by Google called Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, or BERT, were more socially conservative, potentially because they were trained more on books compared to other models that leaned more on internet data and social media comments. Facebook's LLaMA model was slightly more authoritarian and right wing, while OpenAI's GPT-4, its most up-to-date technology, tended to be more economically and socially liberal.
