Question, if there's a mass of opinions online about how say: Meta should just focus on VR gaming. Specifically art projects, family fun experiences, and exercise programs...

...and dissolve all other aspects of the company in order to do philanthropy. Like if that opinion was widely repeated. Would the AIs just start defaulting to that purpose?

Could AI end up working for majority opinion? Democracy?

I suspect no right? Because you can twist AIs arm into saying anything right?

    No, because when they do the training and actual updates to the model weights, they are very likely heavily favoring their internal renditions of preferred response to certain queries. So even if they included such things from online scraping, they’d essentially wipe the sentiment with internal overrides (most likely, LLM models are very big, you could absolutely get it to say almost anything verbatim it’s seen in the training data if you tried).
