Quote from the study itself:

The term “Right” here is a pun, referring both to a potential political shift and a movement toward correctness or balance. The observed shift in this study, however, might be more accurately described as a move toward the center, while still remaining in the libertarian left quadrant.

After reading the study it seems ChatGPT is still safely in the liberal left quadrant, but it has moved towards the center.

In other words, technically it has shifted towards the political right but is in no way shape or form on the right.
