An NCAA athlete claimed that she was scolded by ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence bot, after she asked it to shorten a tweet advocating against allowing trans athletes to compete in women’s sports. Macy Petty, a volleyball player at Lee University in Tennessee, said that she was shocked by the response that she received from ChatGPT, which called for inclusivity and equality in sports instead of promoting exclusion based on gender. Petty, who has personal experience playing against transgender athletes, argued that she was trying to champion the voice of female athletes and that playing against biological men gives them an unfair advantage.
Petty’s experience with ChatGPT is not an isolated incident. The platform, created by OpenAI, has been accused of showing political bias in its responses, including significant left-leaning tendencies. It has refused to praise Donald Trump and argued against the use of fossil fuels. ChatGPT has also been criticized for being woke and biased.
Despite her experience, Petty believes that the problem is not ChatGPT, but rather the ideological war that’s going on right now. She called for more truth and transparency from tech companies and greater protections for women’s sports. While ChatGPT has promised to work on bias issues, it remains to be seen how effective these efforts will be. As for Petty, she plans to keep fighting for the rights of women athletes and for fairness in sports.
