Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
I disagree with Will, when it comes to AI bias. I don’t want it to reflect my biases, okay, I don’t want it to reflect other people’s biases either, I want it to be neutral.
I want the Dragnet of AIs, “just the facts, mam.”

Elon didn’t crash his car in 2022 or 2021 (whichever year you said), it was in 2000. The other amazing thing was, he ended up selling the car for a profit in 2007. https://www.mclarenpalmbeach.com/mclaren-information/elon-musk-mclaren-f1/
It’s one of those things:
When it comes to certain things - I would like AI to take my preferences into account. If I ask for a soup recipe, for example, I don’t want minestrone - I would prefer chicken noodle soup, tomato soup, potato soup, and the like. If I like to schedule appointments in the early afternoon, then I want the AI handling that to know that information.
On the other hand, I absolutely don’t want AI to give me information or “facts” from disreputable sources. Of course, what constitutes disreputable is subjective.
In general, I agree with you, but there are instances where I want my preferences considered.

I understand your point, and, yes, it should make appointments that suit you and if you have food preferences, then recipes that comply with your tastes.
Asking it for information on news, historical events etc. it should give you the facts, E.g. asking about the Holocaust and getting an answer that it is fake news is simply wrong… Mentioning in a footnote that there are people who deny the Holocaust is fine, but returning a conspiracy theory as fact is not.

As a former editor of The Guardian newspaper wrote back in 1921, “Comment is free, but facts are sacred”.
