Genocide in Gaza...

I find that ChatGPT isn't censoring, but it is being pretty weaselly. If you ask it "is there genocide in gaza". It will say no but also say that a lot of organizations classify it as such. It will then say "it's highly disputed".

If you poke it just a few times, however, you get to the point where it will eventually say (paraphrasing) that basically only Israel, the US state department, and the ICJ say it's not a genocide.

That is to say that it's framing it as some sort of tricky complex question when it's not. And when interrogated, it basically admits that the only people who dispute it are Israel and it's supporters.

  • One side of a conflict being a minority does not make it less nuanced.

    The majority of the world is religious - doesn’t mean the debate on religion isn’t a complex question.

    The majority of the world approved of slavery historically.

    The majority of countries have ethnically cleansed their Jews, many of them in living memory.

    When interrogated you will find that the only ones asserting the war in Gaza is a genocide are people who were anti-Israel anyway.
