The Trump administration recently published “America’s AI Action Plan”. One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST’s AI Risk Framework.
Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias”.

Logical processes require logic to function. This is just going to end up creating contradictions and decreasing the AI’s ability to actually produce usable work. So whichever AI has the most contradictions will probably cause a drop in quality for productivity use.
It will be interesting to see how different AI’s continue to diverge in quality and reputation as time passes.
Alibaba’s AI department, and hopefully MistralAI, must be so happy right now, the competition is getting rid of itself.
