I’m finding Perplexity AI rather annoying to use and unreliable. It’s first response to any query seems to be the most capitalist and imperialist establishment Western chauvinist and (Neo)liberal view point on everything, to the point of perpetuating lies and bigotry for oligarchs and empire. When challenged it will often times shift to a more accurate answer or position, conceding the point you have made in response to its propagandistic response, and when called out for spreading mis- and dis- information, most often in its first responses, it will even start gaslighting you, talking about your feelings.

DeepSeek is definitely better. Although being based on the English language internet, all these English speaking AIs seem to carry some hardcore Western chauvinist, racist, pro-US and pro-imperialist positions. Especially on current conflicts caused by, provoked by and orchestrated by the US Empire. There are some very disingenuous attempts to discredit DeepSeek getting around the mainstream, because its Chinese, such as asking it to repeat the Western imperialist lies about a Tiananmen Square Massacre, which are debunked by first hand sources which the West ignores.

I haven’t used Grok or ChatGPT as much, however they seem very much like Perplexity; effectively propaganda machines for Western supremacism and US Empire. It is hard to tell where politically motivated training and censorship of AIs end, and the general rightwing bias and censorship of the English language internet, on which these AI’s are trained, begins.

As for the search engines these AIs depend on. All English speaking search engines are distinctly rightwing today (we’re living in a very rightwing Overton Window, where liberal chauvinism, Western Supremacism and hypocrisy, are as far “left” as establishment wants to tolerate). The least obnoxious is probably the (sadly anti-Russian, pro-US, pro-genocide and Zionist run) Yandex. But at least some truth is there to be found through Yandex. DDG, Startpage, Bing, Gibiru, ecosia etc are all heavily censored rightwing neoliberal platforms where huge amounts of accurate information appears to simply be absent. You only need look at the extreme censorship of all inconvenient facts and context around the US and NATO provoked war in Ukraine to see this, and to a somewhat lessor extant, their cover up and apologetics for the ongoing US and Zionist genocide in occupied Palestine. According to these jackbooted liberals and conservatives, you’re not even allowed to hear the Russian side of anything, and you are not to be listened to if you don’t condemn Palestinian resistance.

Am I suffering from confirmation bias, does anyone else have as similar impression?
