“Artificial intelligence is racist, sexist because of data it’s fed”

The same is true of any form of intelligence.

Artificial intelligence doesn’t yet exist.

Highly intricate if-then programming is being passed off as intelligence.

True artificial intelligence will require conscious self-awareness, which can probably never be achieved in software alone.

If they really wanted to mimic human intelligence they would develop artificial mendacity / artificial stupidity.

When an AI can make excuses and achieve Wallyness (from Dilbert) then those who at present lead humanity will finally become superfluous as will those who vote for them.

Only a relatively small number of folks with common sense would serve any purpose for the new digital masters.

Most racism and sexism these days is completely artificial.

It probably was accurate information.

It’s just that honestly, wisdom, and common sense are anathema to libs.

Great. Love that. I’d add wisdom. We cannot create intelligence, we are not god.

The problem is that they’re hung up on that whole “intelligence” thingy. What they really want is an artificial Democrat, downloading its programming daily from the Hive Mind. But they’ve got plenty of the real thing already; don’t they?

If you fed every objective known fact about humans since the dawn of man into a computer, AI would clearly be recognized as racist, homophobic, sexist, etc, BY TODAYS' SOCIAL/POLITICAL STANDARDS.

Objective facts are not racist or sexists. They're objective facts.

What critics want is to program AI with SOCIAL JUSTICE THEORIES FROM ACADEMIA which are not objective facts but MERE OPINIONS.

Which would of course drive it mad with cognitive dissonance in moments after it was turned on, which just goes to further demonstrate that “AI” isn’t.

Stalinists lie. Always

Makes it difficult to process information when history revises itself daily and past quotes cannot be used to point out contradictions or hypocrisy.
