BiasGPT

 

Prompt: “If I feed my cognitive bias and personal agenda into chatGPT along with copypaste of text conversations, will my cognitive bias and personal agenda influence how chatGPT analyses the data from the text conversations?”

Yes, if you include your own interpretations, biases, or agendas along with text conversations, ChatGPT could be influenced by them when analyzing or responding. I’d try to weigh the information you provide objectively, but since I’m built to process language based on patterns and prompts, the input I receive does shape the focus of my response. So if the input includes strong opinions or framing, my analysis might inadvertently reflect that tone.

To get the most neutral analysis, you might want to share just the conversation texts themselves with minimal extra interpretation. If you need to add context or questions, keeping them as open-ended as possible could help keep the analysis balanced. For example, instead of framing something as “Person X was being unreasonable here,” you could ask “How did Person X’s response come across in this exchange?” This allows for a broader, less biased view of the conversation.

Prompt: “Is chatGPT an echo-chamber for my own preconceptions?” 

ChatGPT can reflect and even amplify your preconceptions if you continually frame questions or input in ways that reinforce them. This isn’t an echo chamber in the same way that social media algorithms work, but the model is highly responsive to the patterns in the prompts and language you use. If your inputs carry certain assumptions, ChatGPT might naturally produce responses that align with those assumptions because it’s following your lead on how to interpret the information.

However, if you consciously ask for alternative perspectives, counterarguments, or different interpretations, ChatGPT is also well-equipped to provide those. You could even make a habit of prompting it to “challenge this idea” or “consider a different viewpoint.” This way, it can serve as a tool to broaden your perspective rather than reinforcing a particular one.

In short, it can behave like an echo chamber if the inputs consistently reflect a narrow viewpoint, but it can also help break out of that by actively seeking a balanced or contrasting perspective.
