This is what you get in our post-truth world that is now a performative acceptable truth world. It's basically cherry picking opinions, perceptions and half-truths that are favorable to an ideological agenda, and dismissing anything else. Where the dismissing part gets increasingly aggressive.
It doesn't have to make sense, be logical or consistent. It's not a truth struggle, it's a power struggle. It's tumblr and 4chan truth.
- Llamamoe 4y agoHonestly, this is probably just representative of the bias in what people producing the training data came up with when asked to produce or flag hateful speech, or some other analogous training bias rather than a purposeful act.

- fleddr 4y agoIt could be self-motivated bias but I speculate it is likely not even that. Enforced bias. The person doesn't actually believe this is the correct moderation yet drifts to the direction of "online acceptable" to stay out of trouble. To get activists of their back. You can be sure that if you launch a tool like this, within the hour the first tweet comes "look how racist this is!!!!!", which then goes viral. The particular user having that goal in mind already, and supremely happy that it is so. It validates them and rewards them, this hysterical addiction to division and outrage. The AI being racist (or perceived to be so) didn't happen to them from good faith usage (as an unwelcome surprise they came across), the outcome is actively chased and fabricated: how can I make it look racist? That's how broken and hostile the environment has become. In these conditions, both companies and individuals have to over-correct.
