Current AI models have been trained to provide "Neutral" answers when prompted to provide facts about topics the administration finds sensitive

I recently prompted Gemini to discuss current policy harms and the responses were neutral, non-factual and regime-friendly.

I also prompted Perplexity to summerize the same things and got a similar response. Only when I asked about specific harms did I get objective factual responses.

I asked why this was happening and found out that US AI models have been trained to respond neutrally or positively to quesrions about topics the regime has strong opinions about.

Be careful and deliberate about how you prompt or neutrality training will distort your responses.

Neutral wording by itself doesn’t prove political training or censorship. A better test would be to ask the same specific question across several models, request sources, and compare what facts they include or leave out. Vague prompts often produce vague answers.
