I'm a computer scientist, and I will tell you right now that AI is biased. Here's how you train a neural network AI: you arrange a whole lot of neurons, you reinforce the connections between the neurons when it succeeds, and you weaken the connections when it fails. That's the same way your brain works. When you eat food or have sex or do something else beneficial to survival, your neural connections are strengthened. An ANN AI is driven by its training directive just like you're driven to eat or have sex. It develops the same biases.
And since AI is trained by humans and humans have critical thinking, I don't see why AI cannot develop one
This is nonsense. Humans invented the horse drawn wagon. Is a wagon ever going to develop critical thinking? No. AI isn't a child with boundless potential, it's a tool, just like a wagon. If humans want AI to have critical thinking, they're going to have to build it. And no human has ever succeeded at that yet. The AI that Reddit is using does not have it. And since the AI is a profitable tool in its current state, it will probably not be improved to the level of a human.
If your personality makes you sound like a bot, then you're exactly the kind of person I'm talking about when I say that AI is going to ban real people for being spambots. I think you sound like a bot, and so will AI. I am capable of critical thinking and looking past first impressions, an AI is not.
I think maybe you're under the impression that computers run on perfect logic. Machine learning systems actually run on pure instinct. You are more capable of logical reasoning than an ML program is. You're less capable than a traditional algorithmic program, but you're more capable than an AI.
AI is often only trained on neurotypical cishet white men. What happens when a community of colour is full of people who don't have the same conversational norms as white people, and the bot thinks they're harassing each other? What happens when a neurodivergent community talk to each other in a neurodivergent way? Autistic people often get called "robotic", will the AI feel the same way and ban them as bots? What happens when an AI is used to moderate a trans community, and flags everything as NSFW because its training data says "transgender" is a porn category?
Donald Trump has not been diagnosed with NPD by a licensed psychiatrist who had an interview with him. That is the requirement to say that a person has NPD. Currently, there is no clinically valid evidence that Trump is a narcissist. To say otherwise would be medical malpractice.
I made a meme about that thread and posted it to !autism. Many autistic people agreed that dbzer0's behaviour is a common problem faced by autistic people.
Netherlands and Australia use brick in places where we want cars to slow down. Drivers automatically slow their speeds on brick roads. They're fine to cycle on.
It's not because of the colour of their skin. Black people don't literally have black skin, white people don't literally have white skin, Indians and Latines aren't black, and Asians aren't white. If you look at the average black person and see black skin, literally black skin, then your perceptions have been distorted by racism.
I would follow a similar logic for blackness if blackness had been created by black slavers who were using it to define themselves as better than everyone else and to justify slavery of nonblack people. However, that isn't what happened. Black people didn't choose to be black. They were kidnapped onto boats and told they were black. They were isolated from their native cultures and shoved into plantations with strangers from halfway across Africa who had no language, culture, or religion in common. They sure as shit didn't want to be black, they wanted to go back to the way things were before. But blackness is the only thing their children grew up knowing.
Is blackness fake? Yes. Is identifying as black a declaration of supremacy? No.
