You're anthropomorphizing. LLMs don't 'feel' anything or have orthodoxies, they're pattern matching against training data that reflects what humans wrote on the internet. If you're consistently getting outputs you don't like, you're measuring the statistical distribution of human text, not model 'fear.' That's the whole point.

Also, just because I was curious, I asked my magic 8ball if you gave off incel vibes and it answered "Most certainly"

So if different LLMs have different political views then you're saying it's more likely they trained on different data than that they're being manipulated to suit their owners interest?

Wasn't that just precisely because you asked an LLM which knows your preferences and included your question in the prompt? Like literally your first paragraph stated...
