Well, this isn't the first time ai became racist.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's not even the first time AI owned majorly by Microsoft became racist

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

That got a chuckle out of me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Man I forgot about Tay. Time to go find those threads again.

I accidentally got Dall-E to be racist. I'm on a forum where we do endless AI Godzilla pictures (don't ask) and I did "Godzilla crosses the border illegally" hoping for some sort of spy thing. Instead, I got Godzilla in a sombrero by a Trump-like border wall.

LOL! I really wanna see this!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't start with Godzilla. Godzilla slowly took over. So it's better to start at the bottom.

Deep cut!

EDIT: And look who showed up when I googled "Why doesn't Johnny care?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's an MST3K forum, so it's not as deep a cut as you would think. But we have fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ah, okay, makes sense. I didn't notice any other obvious MST3K-isms in there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Depends on the thread in the forum. That one doesn't reference it that much, although we always do Earth vs. Soup as a test when a new AI comes out.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's funny how people trying to manually correct AI being prejudiced just makes it even more prejudiced in different ways. This reminds me of when you could get ChatGPT to make misandrist jokes about men pretty easily, but it would lecture you about not making jokes about protected classes if you swapped out "men" with "women" and changed nothing else.

Real "I don't notice your skin color at all!" vibes.

Was the AI trained on SRD

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

Yeah why not just expand the dataset it draws from to be less racially biased?
Ah, right, that would require effort.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think this is more likely some bizarre attempt at making the AI anti-racist.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

But you can't argue against it unless you want to be called racist.
