Hoi,
Talk about biases, Google AI does not know who won the 2004 USA elections,
the Facebook AI was biased against President Lula in the latest elections.
Given that these are closed models their bias is more problematic and
technically not on the same level as the Deepseek AI.
Anyway thank you for your pointer.
Thanks.
