The majority of the site was left leaning in the past, but the extent has been exaggerated. There was always a sizable right wing presence of the “PATRIOT who loves Jesus and Trump and 2A!” variety, and some of the most popular accounts were people like Dan Bongina and Ben Shapiro.

I’m just gonna share a theory: I bet that to get better answers, Twitter’s engineers are going to silently modify the prompt input to append “Answer as a political moderate” to the first prompt given in an conversation. Then, someone is going to do a prompt hack and get it to repeat the modified prompt to see how the AI was “retrained”.
