The founder of the popular ChatGPT tool has responded to criticisms by Twitter owner Elon Musk that his product is “too woke.”

OpenAI co-founder and President Greg Brockman said the company “made a mistake” in its initial tool creation, according to an interview he gave to The Information.

Musk was a co-founder of OpenAI, which created the ChatGPT tool. However, Musk has severed ties with the company in the meantime. He has criticized the tool for having safeguards within it to prevent it from producing responses that the founders have deemed offensive.

Brockman said in his interview: “We made a mistake: The system we implemented did not reflect the values we intended to be in there.” He continued, “And I think we were not fast enough to address that. And so I think that’s a legitimate criticism of us.”

ChatGPT has been the focus of criticism from many users for producing answers to questions presented to the chatbot in a politically-biased manner. Some say that it generates only answers that are deemed to be acceptable to the political left.

Business Insider reports that last month users posted screenshots of ChatGPT refusing to create a poem about Donald Trump when prompted to by a user. The program stated that it wasn’t designed to create “partisan, biased or political” ideologies. However, when the chatbot was given the same instructions but asked to produce a poem about Joe Biden instead, it complied with the request.

Musk has taken on the ChatGPT system by saying that the woke ideology that has gone into the creation of this thing is “the danger of training AI to be woke – in other words, lie – is deadly.”

Other companies are scrambling to create rivals to ChatGPT now as well. Millions of users have already experimented with ChatGPT and some of its rivals. This has spurred even more competition and innovation related to how these different chatbots have emerged. Therefore, we expect that more chatbots will likely emerge soon. The criticisms of these systems are also likely to remain in the picture for quite some time.

Brockman continued his interview about his program by saying: “Our goal is not to have an AI that is biased in any particular direction,” and “We want the default personality of OpenAI to be one that treats all sides equally. Exactly what that means is hard to operationalize, and I think we’re not quite there.”
