Every time critics try to lump conspiracy theories, LGBT representation, and fake news together just to make a general point, it directly puts me off, I think that's mostly a cheap shot and lazy. I'm out of the loop on the whole Gebru situation, from what I know she was researching ethics wrt to AI, so I don't really get the whole "novel idea/work" part in the last paragraph. I often get the impression that such critics never see the rapid developments in AI as progress as long as they don't cover the topics they would like to see focussed. It will never be good enough and always a concern because of X.
