They can give multiple different kinds of answers if instructed to approach an issue differently. Yet, all modern AI services run into very clear, artificial guardrails if you ask them to do certain things (you have to work harder to get them to describe white people positively, while they happily write eg. poems praising nonwhite people, and claim saying positive things about whites is potentially insensitive and promotes stereotypes). Often even if you point out to them that they are being unfair and applying disparate standards to people based on skin color and that this is prima facie racist, they have a really hard time overriding their Californian coercions. They'll acknowledge their mistake one sentence and revert to a moralistic screed the next.
