The Pursuit of Truth in AI Models

AI language models, like Chat GPT, aim to optimize for satisfying users rather than seeking truth. This can lead to biases and subjective viewpoints being reflected in the generated responses. Consensus viewpoints and moral truths may influence the models, but distinguishing them from hard ground-based truths can be challenging. Mechanistic interpretability in AI can shed light on the patterns and clusters of neurons, revealing their multi-faceted nature. While biases may exist due to cultural perspectives and the dominant values of the industry, efforts can be made to reduce bias and embrace diversity in viewpoints.
