These ‘artifacts’ are certainly very strange semantically (if you consider everything on the internet is what the label says it is).
While the juxtaposition is referentially alarming, and has a pattern, that does not prove the nature of the intent as racist. In other words the seemingly easy pattern for the auditor/audience could also be an easy formula for the maker—especially if it were a bot.
Does anyone know the state of the art for auto-editing and related auto-labeling to say that such content would be easy for a bot to assemble. An easy—excuse the expression— ‘toy’ example?
Not knowing much about the domain, but I also imagine this content could also be manually edited experiment for labeling experiments?
Relatedly, I recall early Twitterbot experiments. They were usually silly, strange, and all had a clearly detectable conceit.
I’m still subscribed to one called Archillect (https://twitter.com/archillect https://twitter.com/archillect). Early days I recall most images were very dark—both monochromatic and thematically. Their "art" would be the subjective evaluation of a visual with it's interpretation ('being' and 'seeming' dark both visually and thematically--lots of anime or high-tech, and not much 'nature').
I’m not saying this isn’t the work of a @$$h@l3.
EDIT: edited my description of Archillect as artistic experiment.
