What I'd like to see is if the LLM would exhibit the same behavior wrt other types of predictive selections. For example, rather than choosing people from four tribes, choosing flower seeds from four packets, or choosing lottery tickets from four machines.
No. It's a shorthand for contextual bias. The context is the tiny window of the statistic. When it's applied to a real world situation, ppl promote the 'unbiasedness' into a real situation that isn't constrained by it.
Bias cannot be avoided in any information, because it's always a position of what is relevant and in what presented order. The only unbiased thing is nature itself in its immediate instantaneous totality.
