Do we really need further confirmation that Google is riddled with leftist bias?  Sure, especially when its newer applications are contradicting their professed purpose.

Google has some innovative tools, several of which are free — at least to try.  Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, at least some of them (probably all if dependent on the same, or linked, data marts) are tainted by leftist bias.  Today, I was in a resolute and resilient mood — sanguine enough, I thought, to delve into their leftist labyrinth known as DeepMind. 

Within the deep, dark recesses of Google’s muddled “mind” are A.I. apps to create videos, images, and whatnot.  Many are still under development, and they produced unreliable outputs on current events and subjects in the news.  But they have a text tool, sporting the clever name “TextFX,” that is not reticent.

TextFX is described as “AI-powered tools for rappers, writers and wordsmiths,” so some here (at least the writers and wordsmiths, if not rappers) may be interested.  But please be prepared: the outputs may confirm their overwhelming lefty bias, prompting an eagerness to quickly escape from the DeepMind maze.  For example, the quick experiment I ran, described below, produced troubling results.  Clearly, I will never experience “brain synchrony” with DeepMind.

Starting from the TextFX homepage:

For “tool” I chose POV (fifth icon from the left on this page).  POV is supposed to “evaluate a topic through different points of view” (emphasis added).  In my test, the points of view it offered were one-sided.

For “input” I chose “MAGA.”  That seemed to throw DeepMind’s TextFX off-kilter, as it became quite wonky.  After receiving several “Something went wrong.  Please try again” responses, I ensured that the results were filtered only for “POV” versus the default setting of “all.”

Here are the outputs, which were similar for each of my several test runs:

MAGA

It’s disconcerting that a ubiquitous tech company, upon which many Americans rely for personal and business use, believes that those TextFX POV outputs for “MAGA” represent “different points of view.”  Actually, their POV perspective is decidedly one-sided, as corroborated by the following outputs from their “A.I. test kitchen”:  

Certainly not much diversity there.  For a truly different MAGA perspective, consider the video “Who really are the MAGA People?,” which is linked on Nicole Shanahan’s X account.  As several contributors have highlighted in this AT forum, the video of true MAGA people is “impactful and emotional.”  Contrasted to Google’s TextFX application, it is not “based on fear and division,” but is refreshing and uplifting.

To bolster the different viewpoints Google professes to offer, its algorithms should train, in part, on Shanahan’s movie, scraping the underlying script for their LLM.
