This is everything wrong with social media in a nutshell. This isn't a problem that can be solved with artificial intelligence. You need human beings enforcing human standards of decency.
Keep in mind, that Facebook's 'artifical intelligence' algorithms automatically created lots of white supremacy groups and promote white supremacy content, and allowed advertising targetted at white supremacists.
Throwing more AI at a problem created and exacerbated by ai isn't going to solve it.
- zpeti 6y agoAnd you think humans will do a good job at correctly assessing pieces of content on the sliding scale of “hate”? When one moment it’s fine debating gender issues and a moment later it’s hate speech? For 35,000 people? This is an impossible problem, both for AI and humans. Any suggestion that this will be solved is pandering bullshit to the NYT crowd.
- commandlinefan 6y agoIt's becoming increasingly clear that "hate" is a dog-whistle for "not explicitly left-wing". Which is unfortunate, because yet another useful word is being stripped of meaning.
