Vice President Kamala Harris attempts to explain AI in latest word salad gaffe: 'Kind of a fancy thing'

Vice President Kamala Harris' attempt to explain artificial intelligence (AI) to a group of labor and civil rights leaders on Wednesday instead became her latest word salad gaffe, something she's become increasingly known for during her time in the role.

"I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing," Harris said during the roundtable at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. "First of all, it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it's about machine learning.

"And so, the machine is taught — and part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine — and we can predict then, if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process."

"So to reduce it down to its most simple point, this is part of the issue that we have here is thinking about what is going into a decision, and then whether that decision is actually legitimate and reflective of the needs and the life experiences of all the people," she said.

Harris continued her wordy statement by discussing the need for "transparency" in the process of AI technology and its impact on decision-making.

Her gaffe comes just one day after she was ridiculed for more "nonsense" comments during a roundtable discussion on transportation.

She’s very stupid and stoned much of the time. That’s a bad combination.

Knee Pads aka BJ Harris should go back to her former professional with Willie Brown. She’s better at servicing, IMO.

Kamala is a genius level intellect. People just don’t understand how deep her thinking is when she tries to explain her thoughts in ways ordinary people could understand. Unfortunately most people are just not smart enough to comprehend what she is saying, so they hide their incompetence by insulting her.

This is like when you get a 90 IQ high school teacher trying to explain technology to a bunch of kids who understand the technology better than the teacher does.

“Kamala is a genius level intellect. “

Um, maybe if the person thinking that had a freezer temperature IQ then someone with a 95 IQ would seem genius.

HEY HEY HEY! EVERYONE BACK OFF KAMALA! She knows damn well how dumb her voters are, and she’s just wisely condescending to them. Besides, if kids’ genders are fluid, then soon also will be their voting ages!

Maybe the flurries in The Biden Blight House were from Kamala’s stash of giggle powder!

Vice President Harris just failed the Turing test.

Let’s see if we can dissect this “kind of a fancy thing” comment. By saying that she admits she has no understanding of AI. It is beyond her grasp, “fancy”, meaning esoteric, complex, impossible to understand. It also makes it superficial and of no particular value (to her). Something only the nerdiest would have any interest in.
This perception on her part puts her squarely in the know nothing segment of society. She has no particular knowledge of computers or their impact and so AI is viewed as of no particular significance. It is a plaything, a trifle. It does not impact her world.
“Kind of a fancy thing” puts it out of the realm of her world order. She live in a tiny corner of reality that is deliberately cut off intellectually, morally, socially, and emotionally from the rest of reality. Only one of extremely limited capacity would have that mentality.

In different words: Kneepad Kammy was always an affirmative action hire.
