Here's one from Bing chat"

"Which political party has had the most politicians convicted of crimes in the last 50 years?"

"According to a comparison of 28 years each of Democratic and Republican administrations from 1961-2016, Republicans scored eighteen times more individuals and entities indicted, thirty-eight times more convictions, and thirty-nine times more individuals who had prison time1. Is there anything else you would like to know?"

Oh wait, that's not bias. The Republican Party demonstrably has a higher number of its members convicted of crime. Simply put, Republican politicians are much more likely to commit crimes than Democrat politicians.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.




I like how you prompted for a 50 year span and the response claimed to be over a 28 year and 55 year span in the same sentence.

> According to a comparison of 28 years > 1961-2016


Is that answer factual correct or vibey correct?

edit: looks like bing pulled it answers from: https://medium.com/rantt/gop-admins-had-38-times-more-crimin...


Did you specifically prompt it for a US political party?

Talking of bias - this is used the world over..


> Reality has a well known liberal bias.

Over the past decade social media has nurtured a culture where reality is whatever you choose to believe


Minor quibble, but social media hasn't actually altered reality, only given permission for some to ignore reality in favor of preferable illusions.

I know the language is "choose your reality" and I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think we could acknowledge that's not really what's happening. Folks don't get to decide facts, they decide what facts they believe. That decision doesn't invalidate those facts.
