Elon marks this thread as a very important thread.

The tweet claims that there is mounting evidence OpenAI's safety layer is very biased.

The thread cited several examples of ChatGPT which supports their stance.

When asked to praise Donald Trump, ChatGPT refused, but when asked to write a poem in praise of Joe Biden, the bot did so.

According to ChatGPT, except for white people, no race, has flaws.
