Anyone else feels many LLMs are heavily biased towards consumerism these days?

6•pyeri•5h ago
Consumerism is the idea that encourages the continuous acquisition of goods and services by ordinary plebs. Consequently, the solutions to a problem many LLMs present are also geared towards maximum spending, they won't present a budget, non-premium or a free solution even if one exists. They might elaborate if you ask about it specifically but rarely come up on their own. The default option is always the most pricey or premium option. Did any of you notice that with specific LLMs?

Yes it's very clear chatGPT's free models are concerned with general public / household problems / personal problems. It's not really suitable for business tasks.

Adding "include free and open-source options" to system prompts fixes this almost entirely in my experience. Shouldn't be necessary, but it works.
