    You know that you don’t actually need to advocate for the devil?

    If they could adjust the model so that Israelis are treated humanely, they could do that for Arabs and other marginalised groups as well.

      Guardrails tend to interfere with model performance and are often considered negative. Hence they can’t do that easily. Also it’s a whole lot of work.

        Oh no, the world’s most profitable company has to some work so their dumb machine will stop being racist.

          Their dumb machine gets dumber if you make it less racist. Ie. It’s not just work but also a tradeoff.

            If its a tradeoff between a slightly less efficient bullshit machine and a more efficient bullshit machine, that’s also racist, then shouldn’t it be done?

              Since you do not value it anyway it is a trivial decision to you, but not to people who try to provide a good product.

                Provide a product that isn’t racist. Your argument is basically “we have a great car that occasionally sexually assaults the driver, it’s a bit annoying for us to make it not do that and we think it would also make it a worse car”

                  The product works as advertised. It reproduces the typical response to the question without bothering a human.

                    So it would be acceptable to make a car that occasionally sexually assaults the driver because humans might also sexually assault someone. Got it.
