Aren’t you revising history a bit here? I recall early facial recognition model having pretty hard time with dark skinned faces, I remember early models reflecting gender stereotypes, etc. In fact I remember the ChatGPT team putting tons of engineering into supervised learning to not let it fall victim to regurgitating these biases. The history that I remember very much did experience AI biases and racism. And tons of ethical questions were indeed raised as a result. These concerns did come to pass, at an alarming level, and it took a tremendous amount of engineering to modellers to minimize those. Let’s not rewrite history here.

And I remember seeing demonstrations (here, on HN) within the last week of how ChatGPT still falls victim to regurgitating those biases. (And then will lie about its ability to assure that it won’t do so in the future.)
