MODERATORS
Now I really wanna know if that's actually the best advice or sexism. Because I could see that our society might be so bad that this is genuinely good advice.
It’s neither. LLMs are statistical models: if the training material contains bias (women get lower salaries) the output will reflect that bias.
I can't believe we should ever say this. No, the chat machine is the problem.
The problem is to use LLMs for the wrong things expecting correct answers.
Absolutely, so who is building a study that uses it for the wrong thing and then publishing articles about it
The study wanted to highlight the bias, not to recommend ChatGTP’s advice
