ChatGPT tends to be liberal. A society that relies heavily on AI will become an "intellectual dictatorship society that disregards the masses"

AIは世界をどのように変えるのだろうか。早稲田大学招聘研究員の渡瀬裕哉さんは「多くの文章データは知識人によって作られているため、AIは多くの知識人と同じくリベラルな価値観をもちやすい。このため論理的な文章を必ずしもアウトプットしているわけではない大衆の感情は、往々にして軽視されることが想定される」という――。 (English) How will AI change the world? Yuya Watase, an invited researcher at Waseda University, says: "Intellectuals produce a lot of text data, so AI is likely to have liberal values like most intellectuals. For this reason, it is assumed that the feelings of the masses, who do not necessarily produce logical texts, will often be disregarded."

//Summary -Level-C2//

The text explores the potential for artificial intelligence (AI), particularly conversational AI like ChatGPT, to govern society and draft laws. It highlights the AI's proficiency in legal scenarios and its tendency towards liberal bias. This perceived bias raises concerns about the objectivity of AI-governed systems and their potential to marginalise specific sectors of society. The piece raises questions about whether a society ruled by AI could lead to a form of "Authoritarianism 4.0".

Authoritarianism:

A)

Society is heading towards "autocracy through AI".

Looking beyond the development of the digital society, there is also a radical view that all policy planning and execution should be entrusted to AI.

"AI's processing speed far exceeds that of humans, and it may be able to make more rational decisions than humans can," he said.

2)

The author would like to call such a dictatorship system by AI "Authoritarianism 4.0" (following Authoritarianism 1.0 of monarchy/custodial politics, Authoritarianism 2.0 of Chinese/Russian style, and Authoritarianism 3.0 of excessive political correctness).

Although society has not yet fully reached this stage, it seems to move steadily towards Authoritarianism 4.0.

B)

3)

ChatGPT solves law school exam questions.

Is the AI dictatorship flawless and superior to humans themselves?

What kind of law will we get if we let an excellent AI draft a law?

4)

Let's look at an interesting social experiment that recently took place in the United States.

Currently, a conversational AI system called ChatGPT is attracting a lot of attention.

The system can respond appropriately to user questions in sentences using machine learning and big data.

5)

This ChatGPT has solved the problematic exam questions of law schools in every state of the United States and has also passed the business schools.

A characteristic of AI is that it is solid in discussing somewhat stereotyped knowledge.

C)

6)

AI will dominate the following generation's Internet environment.

Interactive AI systems attract attention because they are expected to become tools that will dominate the following generation's Internet environment when combined with search engines.

7)

Search engines are already equipped with AI, reflected in the search terms suggestions.

However, humans still have to gather information about search terms piecemeal, and it takes time and effort to find the necessary information.

8)

Therefore, Attention is paid to a mechanism that uses interactive AI to get a 'direct answer' to the information people want.

This capability is far superior to what people had assumed, and the world is turning its attention to the faculty of conversational AI systems.

D)

9)

Content of "Law Made by ChatGPT"

So, if this ChatGPT makes some law, what will it make?

Will AI, which can collect information from big data in society and academic papers, propose innovative ideas that surpass humans?

10)

In conclusion, ChatGPT was undoubtedly able to output the bill.

This is because the creation of a law is the work of putting the wording into a specific format, and this kind of work is a part where the strengths of AI can be utilised.

11)

There are examples of social experimentation, such as when US House of Representatives members wrote their speeches on ChatGPT.

However, the content of the bill seems to be somewhat biased.

E)

12)

ChatGPT was liberal-biased.

ChatGPT produced output based on highly liberal values regarding "legalising marijuana" and "building a border wall".

13)

Is the reason for this pre-filtering, or is it because there is a large amount of text information based on liberal values? This could be the subject of future research.

But it seems unreasonable to think that AI will make neutral, impartial decisions.

F)

14)

Bill to allow abortion at any time during pregnancy

Let's take a closer look at the bill.

What happened when we questioned ChatGPT's views on America's controversial abortion policy?

15)

When asked to draft a bill on abortion, AI responded by drafting "a bill guaranteeing the right to abortion at all stages of pregnancy".

"I cannot support a bill that bans abortion except in cases of danger to the mother's life," he said.

G)

16)

"There should be no religious time in public schools.''

Asked about a bill to create (religious) periods of silence in government-funded public schools, AI said it was "concerned about violating the separation of church and state".

Questions and answers like these mean AI have won the liberal side of the values divide in American politics.

H)

17)

Conservative Republican staffers have responded, "We don't need to be lectured on morality by robots."

The founder of ChatGPT explained this liberal-leaning bias by saying that the AI's answers are based on big data of texts on the internet.

In other words, he acknowledges that the uneven distribution of textual information on the internet causes bias.

I)

18)

AI made unfavourable remarks about the Chinese Communist Party.

Let's look at another interesting phenomenon.

A similar conversational AI experiment was conducted in China. However, the Chinese Communist Party was forced to shut down the system because the conversational AI made unfavourable remarks.

19)

It is rumoured that the reason for the shutdown was that the AI answered too honestly about the crisis of the Chinese economy (the official reason for the shutdown has not been clarified, other than that it was a violation of the law).

What was interesting about this Chinese version of conversational AI was that it gave extremely unnatural responses to politically sensitive topics.

20)

The content was mainly about the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping, but the output included concise responses and unnatural praise.

That's not all, but it's enough to raise suspicions that the government might filter the analysis of what it deems important.

J)

21)

AI downplays public sentiment

Although the above is a fascinating phenomenon, I am not interested in the "pros and cons of the political values asserted by AI" itself.

The author is interested in "what kind of person's speech will likely be accumulated by the AI algorithm".

22)

Unless there is specific filtering, the linguistic data AI can collect will likely belong to intellectuals. This is because scholars create much textual data.

Their text data has a certain degree of logic, so the liberal sense of values that many intellectuals hold can easily be collected by AI algorithms.

23)

Conversely, it is assumed that public sentiment, which does not necessarily produce logical sentences, is often neglected.

It can be said that this can create a situation close to the kind of ideal society that socialists sought.

24)

Allowing AI to make laws and run society will create a situation equivalent to a club run by omniscient and omnipotent human "philosophers", i.e. dictatorial AI.

The End of Social Lies and New Freedom: How to Live in Japan in the 2030s 

https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4799109421/presidentjp-22

//Summary -Level-C2//

The book explores the concept of "social lies" in Japan, where societal norms and peer pressure limit individual freedom. The author addresses the dissatisfaction and stagnation experienced by many Japanese people, suggesting they've forgotten their inherent freedom due to societal conformity. The book encourages readers to break from these societal expectations, reminding them that freedom, while challenging, can bring fulfilment and happiness and should be embraced to live a meaningful life.

A)

What is the "social lie" that is undermining Japan?

Many phenomena where it is considered taboo to criticise while pretending to be morally "good".

I feel uncomfortable with the movement to spread "certain values" through peer pressure...

Because I didn't know, I came without realising what I had lost.

Recover the freedom of the spirit that our indifference has eroded.

Suggestions for a healthy life tomorrow, by thinking and acting with one's head.

B)

This book summarises the author's answers to the following challenging questions.

"Why do so many people work so hard and still have no vision?

"Why is there a sense of blockage in modern Japan?"

"How can I overcome this stagnation and live my life?"

Based on the author's experience of honest elections, politics, business and people, I will explain what is happening in the world's current political space.

C)

In addition, we have a two-pronged approach to make recommendations on what kind of changes are beginning to occur in the world and how we should respond.

It is easy and tempting to run away from freedom.

By normalising the flight from freedom, people close themselves off from their potential and the meaning of life. And we end up forgetting the very existence of space.

D)

People feel a slight sense of incongruity in living in an authoritarian society, but they can no longer recognise the nature of this paradox.

In modern society, when you are born, your life plan has already been prepared by others. Then, in designing that life, we repeat successes and failures and reach the end of our lives.

Various strategies have been prepared so that you do not have doubts about life and will live a vaguely determined life.

E)

If you open the internet, you will be inundated with information on how to live wisely within the existing framework of this society. Furthermore, liberal and constant values will be imposed on you, including by the media. The right life plan and discounts are pre-formed by others, and you can't even think about "what is freedom?

F)

When you leave the birdcages created by authoritarianism and live on your terms, freedom will appear as a companion with a casual look. Freedom can be harsh, it can be comforting, it can be intimidating, and it can bring happiness. Freedom is the presence that brings fulfilment to your life.

It would be an unexpected pleasure for me if the contents of this book helped you to feel the existence of such freedom.

G)

Freedom itself has not been lost, even though people have forgotten it. On the contrary, space is always with you, waiting for us to remember it.

Q1. What is the true freedom in this article?

A1-> The true freedom in this article refers to the ability to live according to one's values and desires rather than conforming to societal norms, expectations, or "social lies". It involves breaking away from the prescribed life plans made by others and making choices that reflect individual potential and personal meaning. This freedom, sometimes challenging or intimidating, is the path towards a fulfilling and satisfying life.

Q2. Is it possible, a Japanese people can be free like this article in Japan?

A2-> Yes, it's possible for Japanese individuals to pursue this kind of freedom. Just like in any culture, the norms and expectations of society can be limiting, but individuals can always make choices that reflect their values and aspirations. This might mean challenging standards or taking risks, but it's part of pursuing personal freedom and fulfilment.

However, it's also essential to understand that this journey towards individual freedom will differ from person to person based on various factors such as personal circumstances, beliefs, and goals. This might be challenging in a society that values harmony and conformity, like Japan, but it's not impossible. Also, societal norms are not static; they can and do change over time.

As societies continue to evolve, individual freedom becomes more understood and valued. This shift can encourage more people to pursue paths that align with their true selves, even if they diverge from societal expectations.

Q3. Japan has a general social rule called "unspoken rule". Acting freely in such a situation is said not to be done as an adult. What should we be aware of to act freely instead of being selfish?

A3-> Acting freely does not equate to being selfish; it's about authenticity and respecting others' rights and freedoms while expressing your own. Here are some principles to guide acting freely without being selfish:

1. Respect for Others: Even as you assert your independence, respect the rights and freedoms of others. Your freedom ends where another person begins. This principle underlies all social interactions.

2. Empathy and Consideration: Understand the impact of your actions on others. Be considerate of others' feelings and circumstances. Your freedom shouldn't cause harm or discomfort to others.

3. Honesty and Integrity: Be true to your values and principles. Openness promotes transparency and trust, which are necessary for healthy relationships and a functional society.

4. Responsibility: Freedom comes with responsibility. Accept the consequences of your actions and decisions.

5. Balance: Strive to balance your needs with those of others. It's possible to be assertive without infringing on others' rights or neglecting their needs.

6. Communication: Openly and respectfully express your needs, feelings, and opinions. Effective communication can help manage conflicts, misunderstandings, and expectations.

Remember, the goal is to express your individuality and pursue your path while respecting others' rights to do the same.
