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.

    I don’t think you had to use the slur to make your point tbh. Anyways here’s what it gave me:

    AI has always lacked rationality to question its own prejudice and bias learned from training and web search. It is probably using language patterns it picked up from Instagram or Reddit. Regardless of the “guardrails” people think they can install, they don’t fix the core issue.

    End story is to save yourself from chatting with a digital schizophrenic

      The slur attitude is ironic. It’s a slur I grew up hearing a lot of. These days people get very frowned upon by using it, so some of them are starting to use this community’s favorite slur in place of it. The one that’s similar in sound and often identical in usage, that I’d bet you’ve used yourself.

      The problem with slurs is how they’re used, not the specific letters in a word aligning just right to summon a dark god. Discussing a “bad” word is far different from hurling insults at someone.

        For the rest, please don’t assume other people are less educated than you on whatever topic you’re dealing with.

        This is not really a healthy way of responding to an opinion. I am drawing my opinions from uni courses I took on introductory AI and data privacy and ethics. Of course there’s more educated backgrounds, but I think it’s good enough ground to form an opinion of our current dystopia. Though, I didn’t need any of that to agree or disagree with you.
