Here Comes the Choo Choo: The Woke Progressivism of ChatGPT

I have been on vacation in Orange Beach, Alabama. It was my anniversary week—celebrating 35 years of marriage to a wonderful woman, my one and only wife Mona. I didn’t announce my break from blogging because I would rather people not know when I am traveling and not at home. But now I’m back, tanned (burnt, to be frank), and ready to blog. Thanks for reading Freedom and Reason! Stay tuned.

In case you still have any doubts that ChatGPT is programmed to be woke as fuck, read this exchange I just now had with the bot. I asked it to tell me about “two-spirit,” a 1990s construct invented by western progressives to enlarge the coalition of BI-POC devotees to the administrative state and further guilt-trip gullible white folx. The bot couldn’t help itself—it had to editorialize at the end, admonishing me to approach discussion about this subject with “respect,” “honoring [blah blah blah].” I asked it why. I got the predictable answer.

ChatGPT generating jargon-laden woke progressive propaganda.

 In this instance, which is typical, you can see that the parameters of ChatGPT are set to generate answers that reflect the corporate state agenda of progressivism replete with the lingo and sentiments of social justice. AI chatbots represent a massive mind control project designed to change the way you talk about the world in order to reduce your capacity to think. It assumes people are programmable—and to a certain and real extend, people are—and embraces its mission to program them with the “correct” moral system.

You must wake up to this. When AI takes over completely, those of you who are disinclined to be marginalized and punished for the sake of principle and reason will be reduced to a serf in a technocratic network of corporate estates babbling like an infant and smacking on pablum. The rest of you will be reduced to a serf against your will or will go down fighting. If you find what the bot fed back to me hopeful, then you’re already in the highchair with your bib on. Open the food tunnel. Here comes the Choo Choo.
