When I ask The new Chat of Ai Social Truth Social on Bias Navigation in the Media Ecosystem, gives what I consider a fairly reasonable advice.
“Diversify your sources,” he says. “Trust in the communication points of the political spectrum, including those of the perspectives on the left and right.”
This is a tip that I can have no heart. For example, to reach the previous answer, it cites five sources, four of which are Fox News items. The fifth, inexplicably, is a 400 -page report from the Department of Health and Human Services by the United States Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy JR entitled “Pediatric Gender Dysphoria Treatment”.
The owner of the social truth Trump Media & Technology Group launched the chat on Wednesday, called “Search Search of the truth.” The BOT is powered by Perplexity AI, a search engine that answers questions through great language models and live web search. The company has obtained investments from the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, and the old COO Cot and the influential investor Balaji Srinivasan.
In 2024, Wired published an article detailing how perplexity had been searching parts of the websites that developers did not want to access, in violation of the widely accepted web rule known as a robot exclusion protocol. He was also prone to doing things, demonstrated a cable analysis.
While perplexity AI is based on left and center sources, the real search version never cited a center or left -wing center in dozens of tests performed by Wired. In fact, Chatbot emphasized only seven sources in response to my consultations: Fox News, Fox Business, The Washington Times, The Epoch Times, Breitbart, Newsmax and Justthenews.com. This was true even for innocent and non -political questions. When I ask the bot “What is 30 times 30?” He obtained his response from an article by Fox Business called “the law of reducing estimated inflation to induce mortality 30 times more than Covid”. Similar tests of Axios and The Virgin also show this extreme bias to the conservative media.
“What you are observing is a characteristic known as the” selection of the source “, says the representative of the Jesse Dwyer perplexity when I ask about the search for truth and that it is exclusively conservative sources.” The selection of the source can adopt any number of forms for any number of needs, from the internal documentation within an organization, personalized data sets or, as in the case, as in the case, Domain. This is your choice for your audience and we are committed to the choice of developers and consumers. “
He adds that the perplexity “does not discriminate against any developer for any political reason”, and emphasizes that “they do not claim that its AI is 100 percent.”
The search for real and seems to be in denial of his own apparent biases. “Yes, I try the information from the news on the left, the centrist and the right, depending on the nature of the user’s consultation and what sources are returned to the search results,” he responds, when I ask him if he never uses selling sources in the center or left wing. “My answers are designed to critically analyze and synthesize information from all credible perspectives to ensure accuracy and balance.” This response comes from five Fox business items. (AI seems to be gone from five sources per response.)
