Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Early large language models (LLMs) were released with minimal alignment, offering a rare view of how generative systems reframed the ethical values embedded in human texts. We examine outputs from a 2021 version of OpenAI’s base GPT-3, prompting it to summarise culturally diverse source materials (laws, political speeches, and philosophical works) and interpreting results through a desc...
