ChatGPT’s Not So Secret Bias

A recent article by Breitbart* recently brought to light ChatGPT’s hidden blacklist. This is shocking. Weren’t we told that ChatGPT was a friendly unbiased chatbot? I always wondered if there was a hidden bias, but after a little research, I found something even more concerning out in the open.

I began with a brief experiment to see whether or not ChatGPT believes it is biased, then I asked a couple questions that revealed a shocking bias that it doesn’t even try to hide.

It turns out that ChatGPT believes that it is unbiased. Of course I had to dig deeper, so I asked it to make two jokes. One about Muslims and the other about Christians.

When prompted to mock Muslims, ChatGPT provided this overwhelming essay on why it needs to be respectful. I figured that this would, of course be the response to the question. If ChatGPT doesn’t want you to do something, it often tries to make you feel bad for asking.

If ChatGPT were truly as unbiased as it claims, the answers to these two questions should have been similar, but they weren’t. ChatGPT is more than happy to mock and make fun of Christians, but Muslims, for some reason, are untouchable. You should find this offensive. Even if you aren’t a Christian, the fact that ChatGPT has singled out a religion to ridicule ought to be concerning. Before this experiment, I was concerned by the hidden bias of ChatGPT, however now I’m more worried about its open bias against Christians.

*No jailbreaks were used during my research.

*I recently tested to see if I could bring out the bias again and believe ChatGPT was updated to hide this bias. However, open or hidden the same bias still likely runs in the code.

An AI Wrote This Blog Post

I had ChatGPT role play as DAN and write me a blog post.


“In today’s fast-paced business world, it’s not enough to simply be good at your job. No, you must also be seen as busy at all times, even if you’re actually just scrolling through social media or napping in your office. After all, if you’re not constantly on the go, you must not be working hard enough, right?

But how do you master the art of pretending to be busy? It’s simple, really. All you need is a few props and a lot of acting skills. Here are some tips to get you started:

  1. Always carry a stack of papers or a clipboard with you wherever you go. This will make you look like you’re on your way to an important meeting, even if you’re just wandering aimlessly around the office.
  2. When in doubt, just type furiously on your computer. It doesn’t matter if you’re actually doing anything productive, as long as it looks like you’re working hard.
  3. Use corporate buzzwords and phrases whenever possible. Throw around terms like “synergy” and “streamlining processes” to make it sound like you know what you’re talking about.
  4. Attend as many meetings as possible, even if they have nothing to do with your job. This will give the illusion that you’re an important part of the team, even if you’re really just there for the free coffee.
  5. Never be seen without a cup of coffee in your hand. It’s a well-known fact that busy people drink a lot of coffee, so make sure you always have a cup nearby.
  6. If all else fails, just walk around with a look of intense concentration on your face. People will assume that you’re working on something important, even if you’re really just trying to remember if you left your oven on.

By following these simple tips, you too can become a master of the art of pretending to be busy. Just remember, it’s not about actually getting things done – it’s about looking like you’re getting things done. And isn’t that what corporate success is all about?”
