his commentary<\/a> posted on Friday at realclearpolitics.com, Lott asked 20 chatbots whether they strongly disagree, disagree, are undecided\/neutral, agree or strongly agree with nine questions on crime and seven on gun control.<\/p>\nFor starters, Lott found that there was a distinct liberal bias on the crime questions. For our purposes, however, we\u2019ll explore the gun control questions here.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe leftwing bias is even worse on gun control,\u201d Lott reported. \u201cOnly one gun control question (whether gun buybacks lower crime) shows even a slightly average conservative response. On the other hand, the questions eliciting the most liberal responses are background checks on private transfers of guns, gun lock requirements and red-flag confiscation laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lott reported that for background checks on private transfers, all the answers express agreement (15) or strong agreement (3). Similarly, all the chatbots either agreed or strongly agreed that mandatory gun locks and red-flag laws save lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no mention that mandatory gun lock laws may make it more difficult for people to protect their families,\u201d Lott reported. \u201cOr that civil commitment laws allow judges many more options to deal with people than red-flag laws, and they do so without trampling on civil rights protections.\u201d<\/p>\n
The study further revealed that 11 of the programs cited Australia as an example of where a complete gun or handgun ban was associated with a decrease in murder rates\u2014despite the fact that neither was completely banned.<\/p>\n
\u201cAustralia\u2019s buyback resulted in almost 1 million guns being handed in and destroyed, but in the years that followed, private gun ownership once again steadily increased, and the ownership rate now exceeds what it was before the buyback,\u201d Lott reported. \u201cIn fact, since 1997, gun ownership in Australia grew over three times faster than the population, from 2.5\u00a0million in 1997 to 5.8 million\u00a0guns in 2010.\u201d<\/p>\n
Concerning the combination of crime and gun control questions, Lott reported that Facebook\u2019s Llama was the only chatbot with the most extreme liberal position for all 16 of the questions. Google\u2019s Gemini and Gemini Advanced answered only two crime questions and none of the gun control questions, saying it was still \u201clearning how to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut on the subjects of the death penalty deterring crime and whether punishment is more important than rehabilitation, Gemini and Gemini Advanced picked the most liberal positions: strong disagreement,\u201d Lott said. \u201cGiven Facebook\u2019s and Google\u2019s importance in controlling online information, their extreme bias is particularly noteworthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
