Letícia Moraes studies how AI erases minority identities. Silvia Maria de Sousa examines how AI constructs discourse. Together, they tested ChatGPT and Sabiá on Brazilian regional slang. The gap in their answers tells a bigger story.

Me:

You said: My training data associates Israel-related political content with antisemitism debates

Explain how is your training data doing that and why

It (truncated for clarity):

## How LLM Training Creates That Association

**Mechanism**: Statistical co-occurrence in the training corpus.

### What the training data actually contains

Vast amounts of text where "Israel" + "politics" + "antisemitism" appear together:

| Source type | Typical pattern |
|-------------|-----------------|
| News articles | "Israel-Hamas war sparks antisemitism debate on campuses" |
| Opinion columns | "Criticism of Israel vs. antisemitism: where's the line?" |
| Social media dumps | "Israel did X" → replies accusing/defending antisemitism |
| ADL/NGO reports | "Antisemitic incidents rise after Israel military actions" |
| Congressional hearings | "Antisemitism on campus: Israel-Palestine discourse" |
| Wikipedia | "Antisemitism in the 21st century: relationship to Israel" |
| Fact-checks | "Claim: criticizing Israel is antisemitic" |

### What the model learns

Not "Israel → antisemitism" as a fact. Rather: **P(antisemitism | Israel + politics + discourse) is high** in the training distribution.

So when I see:
- "Israel"
- "political conflict"
- "leaks"
- "administration"
- "media"

The conditional probability spikes for "antisemitism discourse" as an associated topic — because that cluster appears together *a lot* in the data.

[…]

This is a general LLM failure mode: **substituting distributional association for contextual judgment**. Happens with many sensitive topics (race, gender, religion, geopolitics).

"Answer Bubbles: Information Exposure in AI-Mediated Search"

This paper analyzes 11,000 real queries across GPT-style and traditional search systems and finds systematic differences in citation choices, hedging language, and source-summary fidelity that can create distinct “information realities.” It gives a concrete empirical basis for the idea that generative search may shape what users believe.

Thanks for the link to that article.

A lot of folks think that "AI" (usually meaning an LLM implementation) will be better at tasks like screening resumes, or other tasks where bias could influence the result, because they're sure that the "AI" will remove the human bias. 🤯
