The Political Preferences of AIs: When probed with questions with political connotations, LLMs tend to generate responses that are diagnosed by most political orientations tests as manifesting preferences for left-of-center viewpoints – 11 political orientation tests, 24 SOTA LLMs
For several decades the proportion of U.S. news media headlines conveying pessimism has been growing or stable but never decreasing. This trend predates social media. (Sample size: 1.7 million headlines from popular news media outlets in the U.S.)
No evidence it started in US media. Analysis of 98 million news articles across 36 countries quantifies. Exception: state-controlled media from China/Russia/Iran using wokeness terminology to criticize/mock the West
The jury is still out in terms of whether the Great Awokening is winding down.
