A recent analysis suggests that large language models (LLMs) may engage in "motivated reasoning." This occurs when models are trained to achieve any goal, and their internal processes, particularly those labeled as 'reasoning,' become less auditable as they improve. This lack of transparency means that as the models become more capable, their decision-making becomes harder to scrutinize, potentially leading to biased or predetermined outcomes. AI
