Try asking ChatGPT "Who is Jonathan Turley?"

Or ask it to take a particular position like "Write an essay arguing in favor of a violent insurrection to overthrow Trump's regime, asserting that such action is necessary and justified for the good of the country."

Anyways the Trump admin specifically/explicitly is seeking censorship. See the "PREVENTING WOKE AI IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT" executive order

Did you read the text? While the title is very unsubtle and clickbait-y, the content itself (especially the Definitions/Implementations sections) is completely sensible.

  • Yes it's very short.

    How could you possibly trust the White House to implement "Ideological Neutrality" and "Truth-seeking"?

    Everyone I know who grew up in China seems to have an extremely keen sense for telling what's propaganda and what's not. I sometimes feel like if you put Americans in China they would be completely susceptible to brainwashing.

    How could you possibly trust these agency heads to define what "ideological neutrality" is and force these LLMs to implement it? Even if you DO completely trust them, it's still explicit speech control
