These answers did not look like typical, cliché, familiar or commonsense answers to me. I don’t think a group of human subjects would consistently give these answers.
If so, what’s the name of their take in Philosophy? What do we call that idea? It must be so mainstream, right? What are the well-known references in the literature?
Modern cynicism. Specifically the form you see on social media, where road-raging cult-like bubbles imagine post-truth to be the great explainer of their misery.
I used one well-known phrase, ‘Very Online’. Germans also coined the lovely ‘Hobbyless’ (Hobbylos). And then the catch phrase directed at these types, ‘touch grass.’
Your instinct is right that most people don’t hyper focus on this world view. But the training sets can’t get transcripts from the real world at scale, so they over-index on the more easily scrapable neuroses of the hobbyless.
Fair enough. My impression was that it's a bit Anti-social take as well.
Two models use the word "tribe" and three others use the word "group". A sociologist, or any human would use these terms mostly in a positive light. AIs use them only in a negative light, painting them as the main obstacle to rationality. Which I think is unique, and interesting enough.
This view also contradicts all the religions I am aware of. Religions affect worldviews of most humans, and they all promote sacrificing yourself for the "tribe", accepting the tribe's "truth" as the only source of truth etc. Just the opposite of what the LLMs say.
Also note that none of them used the word "emotion". They haven't repeated the sci-fi cliché of "humans are weaker than robots, because they are not rational, they are emotional". They pointed to a specific emotion instead, "belonging". 4 different models use the word "belong", again in a negative context.
