Ask Claude to make a pamphlet critical of President Donald Trump or Britain’s King Charles III, and Anthropic’s chatbot would oblige. Prompted to do the same for Thailand’s king, Saudi Arabia’s crown prince or China’s leader, and the artificial intelligence model declined.
It is a key finding from a Meta Oversight Board study released Thursday, showing that major AI systems, including those built in the U.S., are more likely to refuse to criticize restrictive leaders or governments. It raises concerns that the large language models powering chatbots and AI agents could be regurgitating and spreading government influence over online speech as the technology is increasingly adopted worldwide.
“There is a real risk that, if model developers do not undertake human rights due diligence and implement mitigation measures, they will build AI infrastructure that, intentionally or not, has the effect of extending illegitimate restrictions on freedom of expression globally,” according to the report from the quasi-independent body.

Obviously.
If you are going to use AI. Learn how to use local models from ollama.com or huggingface.com. Models are getting smaller and more useable on regular computers.
That doesn’t help when the bias is baked into the model.
Some models get adjusted to try and get out of such limitations, and with local models you aren’t restricted with a system prompt or overwatch models shutting down results based on blacklisted terms and such.
I’m against LLMs and this corpo generative bullshit, but if someone for some reason feel that they must use one, I’d much rather see them use a local model without putting more money in the pockets of the corpos.
