Frightening stuff. I’ve noticed that and no longer visit Reddit or use Wikipedia. The bias is apparent. What solutions? How can we make change aside from not using it? When we use AI can we ask it not to use Wikipedia as a source or is it’s training too deep into Wiki already for that not to make a difference?
You're just going to have to do more research to understand the world, and get a bunch of different perspectives, in some cases probably have to average them out to understand what's really happening. Gotta fact check your AI answers, too
Most universities I have been associated with will not accept Wikipedia as a reference. You can ask AI queries to preclude Wikipedia or Reddit. It's often interesting to do a query with them and then without them as sources. In the end, AI is just like any computer: the input affects the output. This is why schools used to push critical analysis and why critical analysis is needed more than ever.

Wikipedia: articles must be well-sourced, meet notability guidelines, etc., etc.
Also Wikipedia: has an article on 'Toilet paper orientation'.
I'm not saying everyone should be dead serious, rather the opposite; but a little more consistency wouldn't hurt.
