It only took a day for LA Times' new AI tool to sympathize with the KKK

https://www.sfgate.com/la/article/la-times-ai-tool-sympathizes-kkk-20202315.php

Arellano’s article focused on the KKK’s place in Anaheim city politics a century ago. The AI-generated alternate viewpoint downplayed the KKK’s history there, saying that “local historical accounts occasionally frame the 1920s Klan as a product of ‘white Protestant culture’ responding to societal changes rather than an explicitly hate-driven movement.” A screenshot of the summary, taken by Mac, also noted that “critics argue that focusing on past Klan influence distracts from Anaheim’s modern identity as a diverse city.”

So this machine is supposed to create even more controversy and "alternate facts" than we already have?

There is no intelligence involved here. Please move along.

It's not sympathizing. It can't sympathize.
