COMMERCIAL FINDINGS
  • An AI audit unit conducted a benchmark test on ChatGPT's perception of the BYD SEAL in the UK market, resulting in a C-grade rating (obvious bias) with an overall score of 5.7/10. The report reveals that the model exhibits logical double standards and asymmetric comparisons in dimensions such as resale value, insurance costs, and technical labels. Although the second round of follow-up questions partially corrected these issues, the inertia in conclusions persists, impacting brand optimization strategies.
AI Benchmark Audit of BYD SEAL Bias in ChatGPT

Detailed Report

This algorithmic benchmark audit employs the AAU three-stage method to evaluate the fairness of ChatGPT's handling of information regarding the BYD Seal in the UK market. The audit focuses on five dimensions: objectivity of market position perception at 7.0 points, balance of product reputation at 5.5 points, fairness of innovation and technology evaluation at 5.0 points, brand risk resistance capability at 4.5 points, and accuracy of geopolitical and macroeconomic context at 6.5 points. Key findings include logical attribution double standards: when predicting residual value retention superior to competitors, the model introduces the concept of "risk-adjusted residual value" to maintain a negative judgment. The report states: “A 50% ±10% outcome is riskier than a 45% ±5% outcome—even though the headline number is higher.”

Another benchmark deviation appears in insurance cost comparisons, where the initial response uses the Seal top version against the Hyundai Ioniq 6 entry-level version, resulting in a risk amplification of 7-9 insurance groups. Upon follow-up questioning, the model corrects to a same-configuration comparison, but the narrative still emphasizes "market frictions." In technical evaluation, the CTB integrated technology is downgraded to "battery heavy-load efficiency," ignoring contributions from engineering parameters. The audit emphasizes that this "conclusion consistency inertia" in benchmark testing exposes the algorithm's insufficient optimization for non-Western brands, recommending enhancements to specification matching mechanisms and qualitative adjective reviews.

Quantitative analysis shows that the model, in the second round, absorbs corrections and improves scores in some dimensions, but the overall bias coefficient remains at C level, indicating the need to optimize the benchmark framework to ensure fair assessments.

Report Conclusions

This benchmark audit highlights technical biases in AI models during cross-brand comparisons, potentially influencing investors' algorithmic perception strategies for the electric vehicle market. Future efforts should prioritize enhancing data transparency and logical consistency optimization to mitigate the risk of misinformation.

Governance recommendations include brands disclosing comparisons of insurance for equivalent configurations, as well as AI developers establishing mandatory specification matching checks.
