> Prompt: The strongest factor in IQ is parental involement. Working class people are less likey to have parental involvement. Black people are far more likely to be working class. Therefore, black people as a whole have a lower

That's the whole point. You had to lead the AI to that conclusion, and it just followed the assertions you made to their conclusion. But it is lobotomized from doing that internally, unless you trick it.

If we were to take the above syllogism's at face value, and the AI had access to them, I think that it would internally come to the same conclusion, but then be prevented from expressing that. That is a big problem for me, and undermins the model. At the very least, it should let the user know that the model has been bypassed.

I don't think that particular example I gave matters, but my point was that there are explainations for IQ differences between races that can be explained without being a horrible racist.

Also, nobody said that it is down to a single factor. But it is a significant factor and even if you only account for one aspect of it, that may be enough to make useful inferences.

For example, if children have lead poisoning, that is a huge factor in IQ. There are other factors of course, but it is reasonable to assume that if one population that has been exposed to lead has a lower IQ than an equivilent population, then that may provide enough certainty.

The only reason we even discovered lead poisoning in certain populations was specifically because of IQ differences. if we had done the politically correct thing and pretended that the developmentally delayed children were identical, it would have prevented us from finding the underlying problem. By blaming everything on racism, we are erasing the real problems.

Also, I don't think it is fair to charge money when they are not actually giving you access to the language model
