The bias of human feedback raters is a concern, and selecting representative raters is a challenge. Optimization includes considering different perspectives and empathizing with diverse groups. The ability to empathize and understand different worldviews is important. Some people are unwilling to pretend to understand opposing beliefs.

Political pressure and bias may still exist despite the technology's capabilities.
