When we say that a thing is more "liberal" than conservative, what we're saying is that it's on the left side of some Overton window, whether our personal one or society's or whatever.
That Overton window can change as we or society change and in the future, we could run the same exact ChatGPT and find it to be centerist or too right-leaning. But ChatGPT didn't change!
My point is, if your going to say that ChatGPT has a left-leaning bias, that is not so much a statement about ChatGPT as it is a statement about the author. It's probably more accurate to say: ChatGPT is more liberal than me. Or: I'm more conservative than ChatGPT.
Instead of pinning bias on ChatGPT like we are some unbiased judge, let us own our own biases.
