That would at least be an over-specific class though, as most colonialists are people. The issue here is that it's often not seeing people as people, and identifying them as animals. It would be more like if it ID'd white folks as cows or such.
- rjh29 3y agoWhite folks = cows isn't a fair comparison, there is a strong racist history of comparing black people to monkeys/gorillas that increases the social harm.
- noirbot 3y agoSure. There's not a good comparison. But even if we're just talking about differences in training model issues, a portion of the underlying issue is that the classification is so wrong that it doesn't see some people as even being human. The fact that it's specifically gorillas is a level on top of that, but it would probably still be bad/a problem if it had the other common computer vision issue where it just doesn't see people with darker skin tones at all.
