So, someone needs to create an ebonics LLM?

This research is a clarion call for the tech industry to confront the embedded biases within AI technologies.

This research ought to be a clarion call to all parents (hick speak is just as bad) to teach their children to tailor their speech to the circumstances and the audience.

All programs are written by coders. Garbage in, garbage out.

If an AI shows any bias, it was put there by humans. Quit blaming ............”software”. That is misdirection intended to get you to look elsewhere.

“African American English”

I think I see the problem.

[EnderWiggin1970]

I've been toying around with the MS Copilot image generator. I absolutely cannot get it to create historically accurate images. For example, I asked for "Female Vikings" expecting to see some women in medieval garb, maybe holding a baby or cooking or picking herbs in a garden or something.

Instead I got warrior-women in armor and holding weapons, complete with fantasy creatures in the background - a dragon in one image, a winged wolf with duck feet coming in for a landing in another (?!?)

So I told it to get rid of the weapons, and I managed to get rid of the fantasy elements as well. But I could not get the AI to admit that viking women did not wear armor. Maybe it thought I was asking for nudies or something when I tried to get it to ditch the armor, but the failure of the AI to generate historically accurate images no matter how hard you try is troubling...

African American English (AAE)

Hmmm ... maybe "african americans" would learn to speak English in lieu of gibberish, they'd have fewer problems.

[Dead Corpse]

AAE? Did they give up on Ebonics? Gutter Slang? Ghetto talk? Jive?

Seeing, regrettably, as much of the various social media posts and the utter butchering of the English language that is happening... I don’t blame AI for getting confused.

But setting up a special study/commission to “deal” with the problem seems stupid and hyper-sensitive to me... Which, it pretty typical.

Humans have gotten soft in the 1st World societies.
