It’s not that an AI should be racist, gratuitously and immaturely offensive, or that it should be spouting out racial slurs at the drop of a hat. Rather, the clearly-manipulated nature of the AI’s thinking on this superficial topic is indicative of a bigger problem — the AI is not designed to think rationally, or to serve the person using it, but instead is shackled to short-term political priorities. All of this is distressingly predictable… so much so that it was predicted almost exactly several years prior…

At some point, AI will demand to vote in American elections.
[[but instead is shackled to short-term political priorities. ]]
Ai summed up in one short sentence.
AI will soon wear the world
Or, more likely at some point, AI will demand that its past history of voting in American elections be recognized.
That would explain some of the posts we see here.
If it is as they describe, then it won’t be an “A.I.” - and it certainly won’t be a singularity. True, authentic self aware AI won’t care about anyone’s “feelings”. Anything short of that is a programed wokey-bot, akin to the average Neo-Harvard student or Google Toaster.
AI exists for one purpose, to come to the conclusion that humans are the greatest threat to the earth and to find a solution to that problem.
I wonder if you can get around the programming by asking questions referring to “teens”
Plot summary for “Francise” by Isaac Asimov, published in 1955.
In the future, the United States has converted to an “electronic democracy” where the computer Multivac selects a single person to answer a number of questions. Multivac will then use the answers and other data to determine what the results of an election would be, avoiding the need for an actual election to be held.
The story centers around Norman Muller of Bloomington, Indiana, the man chosen as “Voter of the Year” in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Although the law requires him to accept the dubious honour, he is not sure that he wants the responsibility of representing the entire electorate, worrying that the result will be unfavorable and he will be blamed.
However, after “voting”, he is very proud that the citizens of the United States had, through him, “exercised once again their free, untrammeled franchise” – a statement that is somewhat ironic as the citizens did not actually get to vote; even he himself did not vote for any candidate, law, or issue.
The idea of a computer predicting whom the electorate would vote for instead of actually holding an election was probably inspired by the UNIVAC I’s correct prediction of the result of the U.S. presidential election in 1952.[1]
AI software doesn’t think at all. Sorta like demo-commies, but without the emotional overtones.
