The media isn't made by aliens, it's just a bunch of people just like their viewers, so maybe such desire to manipulate is intrinsic by humans.
But anyway this kind of thinking is just the lazy way out by holding prejudices instead of evaluating each news article by its own merits, like when a woman says "all men are the same" (or a man says the equivalent thing)
- fareesh 4y agoI guess the implicit bit was that if you look at the norms that have been established at the current stage of AI, you are looking at models like GPT-3 that are trained on the likes of Wikipedia, CommonCrawl, etc. If you look at Wikipedia for example, one of their criteria for what represents "noteworthiness" is coverage by the mainstream media, and furthermore the individual contents of the article must also be sourced from those same places. The news media typically uses the "Adjective-Profession-Name" technique towards readers like "Controversial Professor Jordan Peterson" or "Austere Religious Scholar Al Baghdadi" or "Beloved Actress Betty White". This system is flawed and so AI inherits these flaws, except it doesn't have the capacity to question at the moment.
