TLDR : Yann Lecun tweeted that ML models are biased when the dataset they are trained on is biased. Bunch of people, including Timnit Gebru, replied he is wrong and the biases are every where and systemic.
Yann later tweeted again to explain what he meant in the context of deep learning models without hand engineered features, but people ignored him and still replied he was wrong.
It looks like they were accusing Yann of all the systemic biases of society... common.
Is there a paper showing that the Transformers based models are "biased" no matter the dataset ?
