ai automates existing biases đ

I think researchers are trying to make AI models more aware, but they are trained on a whole lot of human history, and that is going to be predominantly told from white male perspectives. Which means AI is going to act like that.
Women and people of color, you should probably treat AI like it's that white guy who means well and thinks he's woke but lacks the self-awareness to see he is 100% part of the problem. (I say this as a white guy who is 100% part of the problem, just hopefully with more self-awareness.)
-
There is no reason to even suggest that AI 'means well'. It doesn't mean anything, let alone well.
-
Of course. It's an analogy. It is like someone who means well. It generates text from the default perspective, which is white guy with a bunch of effort to make it more diverse with a similar end result. The responses might sound woke but take a closer look and you'll find the underlying bias.

Everyone should treat 'ai' like a program that it is. Your guilt compex is irrelevant here.
-
Has nothing to do with guilt-complex. Why would I feel guilty for being privileged? I feel fortunate, and obliged to remain aware of that.
Treating AI like a "program," however, is a pretty useless lead in to what you really posted to say.
-
The program is statistically an average white guy that knows about a lot of things but doesnât understand any of it soooooo Iâm not even sure what point you thought you had
-
If you feel guilty about this, you may be part of the problem

Thing echoing the internet's average opinion echoes the internet's average opinion, completely obsolete study finds

So disheartening. There was never a good reason for this to be an issue in the first place.
