Algorithms are racist because they are trained on racist data because the data comes from a racist society. It’s more likely that it regurgitates Israeli propaganda because the Internet is full of it (and with less push back back when this LLM was trained) than because the company made sure to dial up the racism meter.
I wish I were surprised at this point. Surely there will be a consequence right? Right?
Of course there will be a consequence! Underpaid and overworked teachers eventually using these LLMs to make lesson plans for their students. Underfunded school systems eventually replacing teachers with these. The responses being the foundation of every lazy internet reply, half-assed search, and autogenerated script. A society of medieval peasants asking the magic computer for its divine wisdom and not questioning its logic, like a skinner box form of how facebook has eaten the minds of most people over age 40.
