Some people asked LLM to OCR historical documents from the 19th century - any reference to "negro" was either completely ignored or replaced by "black".
And it goes further: chatGPT & co are unable to answer any question about US slavery correctly because their knowledge graphs route around any mention of "negro".

- jrmg 5mo ago“Some people” did? Do you have a reference to this?
- dmd 5mo agoWell, I'm "some people", and just tried it with Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.5, and neither had any problem at all. The linked article is from research done more than 4 years ago. If you're basing your idea of what LLMs can or can't do on what they could or couldn't do in 2022, well, good luck to you.
