@NikkiDimes @Wlm racism is about far more than tone. If you've trained your AI - or any kind of machine - on racist data then it will be racist. Camera viewfinders that only track white faces because they don't recognise black ones. Soap dispensers that only dispense for white hands. Diagnosis tools that only recognise rashes on white skin.
Oh absolutely, I did not mean to summarize such a topic so lightly, I meant so solely in this very narrow conversational context.
Soap dispensers that only dispense for white hands.
IR was fine why the fuck do we have AI soap dispensers?! (Please for "Bob's" sake tell me you made it up.)
The camera thing will always be such a great example. My grandfather's good friend can't drive his fancy 100k+ EV. Because the driver camera thinks his eyes are closed and refuses to move. So his wife now drives him everywhere.
Shits racist towards tho with mongolian/east Asia eyes.
It's a joke that gets brought out every time he's over.
