ChatGPT tends to support any narrative that it thinks the user supports.

I just asked ChatGPT about the Vietnam war and it did not say that it was purely the US's fault: https://imgur.com/a/zmiOyuu

It also didn't seem to have a problem describing people killed for left wing ideology: https://imgur.com/a/LhH9saL

These are both with the free ChatGPT membership, as I do not have a paid membership anymore.

I know this is a common trope to bitch about, but honest question: did you actually try this before you commented?

ETA:

I was curious what something that was trained around me specifically (fairly typical lefty American progressive) would say, so I asked Claude (which I have a paid membership for and have discussed political things about many times). The answers were broadly similar: https://imgur.com/a/caFgKHH
