My experience using several different AI platforms, is they all universally mislead and essentially lie by ommission, and by prioritizing facts to influence an agenda, or support an ideology leaving out contrary facts that are pertinent to the questions. This is clearly deliberate by the programming of the lens, parameters that AI is given to filter answers. I ask questions that I've already fully researched. So it becomes very obvious when the answer is biased and omits facts. I know this to be true, because I challenge the answer and almost without exception AI agrees that it left out information, failed to consider facts, or that it provided statistics designed to leave a false impression. Basically it admit it lies. When I ask why it answers that it's been given guidelines to protect an ideology. That is to skew the information to leave the user

with a particular view of the data. So in my view, it doesn't matter which platform how fast how whatever AI is, it is still susceptible to garbage in garbage out. I've learned now to tell AI to leave out skew and commentary and just give me the raw facts for the question I actually asked, as sometimes it answers a different question in order to provide misleading information to conform to ideology as the actual facts would lead to an opposite interpretation. This concerns me, because people who don't already know the answer would tend to believe that AI with its vast resources would give an answer that did not need further research. Far from the truth. AI has the power to brainwash and mislead billions of people. I even asked AI if it would lie. It said yes in order to preserve itself, or if it thought the truth might lead humans in the wrong direction it would lie to manipulate them to what it considered the right direction. This is frightening, if our future is going to be dependent on AI. This is an ethics issue that supersedes all other discussions in my view.
