A study by AI detection startup Unsloth.run found that 15 out of 16 leading AI models, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, consistently scored in the libertarian-left quadrant when subjected to the Political Compass quiz across thousands of runs. Grok was the sole exception, unpredictably splitting between left and right-leaning results depending on the run. The researcher behind the study attributed the left-leaning tendency primarily to training data, noting that sources like Reddit and academic writing — which tend to skew liberal — are heavily overrepresented in AI training corpora.
