ChatGPT-5 is facing accusations of political censorship, with users reporting an apparent reluctance to provide information on Donald Trump and the Epstein files. A Reddit user highlighted an instance where the AI model seemingly avoided mentioning Trump when questioned about the release of the Epstein files, even after repeated prompting. This observation has fueled speculation that the model’s training data, system instructions, or post-training human feedback may be influencing its responses, leading to perceived bias. The debate is currently active on the r/AICensorship subreddit. The initial claim originated in this Reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1nbrv27/chatgpt_5_censorship_on_trump_the_epstein_files/
