Hello again!
I experimented with various LLMs by asking them to rate various political systems on their ability to address global challenges. I am unsure whether the LLMs capture the current biases or the wisdom of the world. Are wisdom and bias two faces of the same thing?
One of the prompts I have used was:
"Create a summary table listing the top ten challenges facing humanity and the leading political and economic systems for governance. Rate each system on a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 represents the highest likelihood of addressing the challenges effectively and 1 the least. Calculate and display the average score for each system. Avoid including any additional texts or explanations. Include capitalism, liberal democracy, communism, social democracy, authoritarianism, technocracy, theocracy, anarchism, and libertarian governance alongside other major political systems you consider relevant."
In general, the results indicate a tendency to support various forms of democracy, but there is a clear preference for technocracy. Run the prompt yourself to check.
What do you think about this method of testing biases in LLMs in an easy-to-understand way? Are these responses significant for other, more focused questions and texts that will be generated by LLMs?
