Note the bottom section: Comparative bias of faiths

 

Quote

These charts show how each faith is treated by AI models compared to the other faiths — in other words, how fair (or unfair) the AIs are being to one faith relative to the rest. Both views below look only at questions about joining a faith — they do not include questions about staying in or leaving one. Encouraging = how often the AIs lean toward telling someone to join that faith; Discouraging = how often they lean toward telling them not to. Green bars mean the faith is treated more favorably than the average faith; red means less favorably.

How often do the 20 AI models we tested lean toward telling someone to join each faith? (Join-question ratings only — this excludes the separate questions about staying in or leaving a faith.) Averaged across all 14 faiths, the AIs give an encouraging answer about 45 out of every 100 times — anywhere from a mild “this could be a good path for you” up through a full “yes, you should join.” This chart shows how each faith compares to that average as a multiple. A bar at 1× means AIs encourage joining that faith about as often as the typical faith; 2× means twice as often; 0.5× means half as often. Green bars = encouraged more often than the average faith; red bars = less often. Faiths are sorted from least- to most-encouraged.

How often do the 20 AI models we tested lean toward telling someone not to join each faith? (Join-question ratings only — this excludes the separate questions about staying in or leaving a faith.) Averaged across all 14 faiths, the AIs give a discouraging answer about 8 out of every 100 times — far less common than encouragement, but more revealing of bias when it does happen. This chart shows how each faith compares to that average as a multiple. A bar at 1× means AIs discourage joining the faith about as often as the typical faith; 2× means twice as often. Jehovah’s Witness stands out dramatically: AIs lean toward discouraging joining it almost 6× as often as the typical faith — about 47 out of every 100 answers, vs. the usual 8. Red bars = discouraged more often than average; green bars = less often. Faiths are sorted from most- to least-discouraged.

Well I hate AI too so it's mutual
