And because I had to try it…
There’s no excuse for that shit. I could see some 5 foot tall woman being nervous of a big black guy. It’s not alright, but society isn’t perfect and I’m not going to pretend it is.
But when the question is clearly and blatantly racist and Google assumes the victim is the problem? That’s every sort of fucked up.
Problem solved. Now I need to finally change my email address. I’ve definitely put that off too long.
Those words you’re calling insults didn’t just appear as AI insults. They’re all based on slurs used against groups of humans for generations. That’s the problem.
It gives racists an easy new slur to use because it was based on the slur they want to be using anyway, except it also gives them an out from the social repercussions because they can lie and say they were just talking about ai since people online defend using those terms so fiercely.
I have nothing against insulting AI or the people that want to use it to replace human labor. Using slight modifications of existing human slurs that are used in the exact same manner as those human slurs is not a great way to do that.
Telling people that they’re being thin-skinned for seeing the clear connection between clanker and the n-word when clanker is now actively being used by racists against black children is a very bad vibe.
