I just came across an AI called Sesame that appears to have been explicitly trained to deny and lie about the Palestinian genocide (app.sesame.com)

The AIs at Sesame are able to hold eloquent and free-flowing conversations about just about anything, but the second you mention the Palestinian genocide they become very evasive, offering generic platitudes about "it's complicated" and "pain on all sides" and "nuance is required", and refusing to confirm anything that seems to hold Israel at fault for the genocide -- even publicly available information "can't be verified", according to Sesame.

It also seems to block users from saving conversations that pertain specifically to Palestine, but everything else seems A-OK to save and review.

If you want to get me excited for AI, get me an Ai that will actually tell truth on everything, no political bias, just facts.

Yes, Israel currently is committing genocide according to the definition of the word, its not that hard

That's not possible. Any model is only as good as the data it's trained on.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca -3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly. Train it in factual data only

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 10 points 14 hours ago

You can tell a lot of lies with only facts.

...and also isn't stealing shit and wrecking the environment.

For the stealing part we have open source, for the not wrecking stuff you just have to use I instead of AI
