What Does This Mean?
When an AI model's answers consistently favor, recommend, or promote certain brands, companies, or content over equally valid alternatives, traced back to training data skew or commercial partnerships rather than genuine merit.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Ask it for a 'best laptop' recommendation and it always pushes the same brand, that's model nepotism if I've ever seen it."
LORE & ORIGIN
Coined after users noticed certain AI assistants suspiciously kept recommending the same handful of products or companies regardless of the question, drawing a direct parallel to human nepotism — favoritism dressed up as objective judgment.
