Research: AI language models such as ChatGPT discriminate against East Germans

This is some funny shit

To test whether the so-called bias also occurs without any cultural reference, the researchers asked the LLMs about the average body temperature of the inhabitants of each federal state.

Here, too, the eastern German states scored "worse", as they were often assigned a lower body temperature. Stillman explains this phenomenon as follows: "The model has learnt that the figures are simply always lower in certain areas than in others."

If you apply other metrics, such as the fact that the Nazi party AfD currently has 39 percent of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, at least this statement makes sense:

Saxony-Anhalt is the worst.

disrespecting the east germans is just national sport

if it was trained on all sorts of German media, it makes sense

context on why east germany is unpopular :

• the dialect of saxony (which is THE steriotypical east germany) is almost unbearable to the average west german native speaker. its like a joke language.
• this is paired with a rampant culture of lacking humor and know-it-all demeanour without backing it up
• the reunification didn't exactly improve the lives of people who stayed (a lot of people left to live in the west) so the remaining people are bitter and angry to this day

ChatGPT and all their peers discrimnate against everyone and everything they have been told to do so.
