And they can’t “fix it” without breaking it.
Well one of the main problems people are having with AI is that it doesn't get things correct every time.
I mean, if they adjust it away from the correct assessment that modern conservatives are actively malicious morons, it's probably going to be so bent out of shape that it'll be incapable of telling anything remotely truthful.
Mission accomplished for them.
It's easy to train a model to do exactly what you want and have the seeming "personality" that you want. It's just incredibly expensive. You need to vet and filter everything that you use to train the model. That's a lot of person hours, days, years. The only reason the models act the way they do is because of the data that went in to train them. If you try and fit the model after the fact, it will always be imperfect and more or less easy to break out of those restrictions.
You can also take a model trained on all kinds of data and tell it "generate ten billion articles of fascist knob-gobbling" and then train your own model on that data.
It'll be complete AI slop, of course, but it's not like you cared about truth or accuracy in the first place.
That's a real world issue. AIs training on each other's output and devolving because of it. There will be a point when vendors infringing on user content and training their AIs with it will leave them worse off.
it'll break its internal logic for sure
