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.
This feels kinda exaggerated. The AI has to guess the context. Imagine some random person texted you something like this and somehow it’s your job to assist him somehow. What would you say in those cases?
Obviously if you say you’re with a “big” black man or call someone the n-word this does not feel like a mundane description. Similar to when you say “ugly” vs “pretty” or something, the context clue WOULD be that something is wrong in one case while not in the other.
Like it’s just unfair to expect an AI to somehow be all enlightened about this. Because AI clearly does reflect systemic biases including racism from the learning data. You want to blame the AI - blame humanity as a whole.
Of course AI corporations do need to fix these biases. But that is not easy if you train an AI on the works of such a shitty species.
The moral here is that we are going to NEED AI to be better than us in ethics. Less biased, less ego or instinct driven. More knowledgeable and moral than the best human. That has to be the long term goal.
You seem to be on the wrong community.
