- mavhc 4y agoThey are, that's the point of civilisation, to try to stop acting like animals
- mdp2021 4y agoThere's a non light terminological issue there. To say that specimen "as found in nature" are weak at something (uneducated) is one think, to say that it is "connatural" to them, that it is "their nature", is completely different¹. I would not mix them up. (¹Actually opposite: the first indicates an unexpressed nature, the second a manifested one.)

- hoseja 4y agoNo, I am saying that the cure is worse than the disease. The proper fix for the AI being racist is to make it able to not be racist on it's own (which would probably need much deeper understanding on the side of the AI), not forbid everything that passes some primitive heuristic of "being racist". One is painful and correct, the other is easy and feelgood and doomed.
- wardedVibe 4y agoFair enough, that's what I get for bringing reddit discussion norms with me. Though because of how general purpose these models are, I have a hard time believing such a model couldn't be used to generate reams of racist screeds for propaganda/astroturfing purposes.
