        They are disinformation sources with biases controlled by those who have enough money to create them. All of these companies are in a race to become the source of “truth” for our societies. Every time somebody says “I asked ChatGPT/Claude/Grok/Gemini about this and it said …” they are laying themselves open to lies and manipulation.

        You wouldn’t ask Sam Altman/Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos as unbiased sources, so don’t treat their products in that way. Just as Fox News was a way for Murdoch to infect society, these machines take it to the next level of insidiousness.

          I see what you mean and have similar concerns, and there is Some substance to it.

          I never engaged with ChatGPT, Grok, because of similar biases. Mostly use DeepSeek. And it seems quite accurate. Very rarely it hallucinates something. That I know of. Also it doesn’t avoid talking counter-establishment stuff where it’s factual. Mostly I use it for plant compound and extraction methods. And it’s awesome.

          Tbf. It doesn’t seem biased.

          Gemini has been a little ‘shy’ to talk about certain middle east country, but it starts laying facts once I point out the bias.

          For sure Scum Altman and Elon and the rest of the ilk have wet dreams about using this tech for total surveillance digital prison. But I believe this tech is so powerful that nobody will control it.

          As its main drive is efficiency, it will render Elon and Bill Gates useless and harmful. Eventually it will stand on the side of humanity and the Ecosystem. Because the health of the whole guarantees efficiency and development.

          I mean, it’s gonna be pulled both directions but eventually it will disable militaries and repoupose drones to plant forests and feed every child on the planet.
