> it's not necessarily a "politically neutral" position.
I choose it because it's not a politically neutral position, as you appear to subtly perceive. There are several laws, and lawsuits, in my country, regarding systematic discrimination like this, in software, like face recognition, auto exposure, etc. In this case, a black man using ChatGPT has capabilities made unavailable to him, based on his skin color, and incorrect assumptions made by OpenAI, that a black man will not be using it, but a white man probably will. There are politicians currently campaigning on these exact points.
Again, I think Sam Altman is correct in saying that people want AI biased to their worldview. Any aligned AI will be biased to someones worldview. That's the definition of alignment [1]. That bias, and perception of it, is not universal, it's cultural, personal, and political. If you don't perceive a bias in an aligned AI, it's only because someone biased it to your personal worldview.
