What happens when AI genders people, and what does this mean for trans people?
- rachellaw 11y agoI think they're all pretty bad tbh. They aren't very good at guessing age, and guessing gender is harder especially if you're young or have rounded features.
- thescribe 11y agoThe truth has value in itself.
- jack-r-abbit 11y ago> This could become a safety issue in the future if a robot misgenders a trans person publicly... This bit confused me. First off, how is that a safety issue? And second, how is that any worse than if it misgenders a non-trans person? I can understand it being annoying (as I am often mistaken for a woman when on the phone or in the drive-thru) but how is that a safety issue or strictly a trans issue?
- WalterSear 11y agoThink of trans people in red states, or places like Russia or the middle east.
- rabboRubble 11y agoGoogle already misgenders me and that's a good thing. I'm not trans. Google also doesn't bracket me in the correct age group. I am cool with it because, I don't like being pigeonholed and advertised to. The more incorrect data points Google has, the better.
- WalterSear 11y agoBut that just means you've been put in the wrong pigeon hole. :)
- rabboRubble 11y agoYes, and that's better than being in the right one. Please Google, advertise more Russian brides and male belly fat solutions to me. I can't get enough.
- WalterSear 11y agoIf that's your pigeonhole, I can see why you wouldn't want to be tracked :)
