#2> Instagram profile of ‘proud Black queer momma’, created by Meta, said her development team included no Black people
It’s such a weird religion.

#3> Conversations with the characters quickly went sideways when some users peppered them with questions including who created and developed the AI. Liv, for instance, said that her creator team included zero Black people and was predominantly white and male. It was a “pretty glaring omission given my identity”, the bot wrote in response to a question from the Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah.
This is probably true, but the AI almost certainly hallucinated these facts.

I find this stuff absolutely fascinating, that even an AI bot tries to do this sort of thing.
It just strikes me that there is no world in which racism will ever die out as long as things like this are happening. You can't have it both ways.
If race is just melanin content then we have no issue. That's the win case.
If your race is something that you need to proudly announce (because you personally feel that it has cultural connotations in most/many cases), then race is always going to be an issue, because of assumptions of those cultural differences.

Race is clearly cultural in todays society because we can make it so. Very unlikely to be genetically culturally if that is what you are saying (but of course, who knows).

#7The thread is here and... it's pretty wild. This doesn't seem like it was a well-thought out idea to release this without some more consideration beforehand.

What I'm saying is that it the AI to me illustrates how much of a self-own drawing these cultural battle lines is.
If you choose to describe yourself by the colour of your skin first and foremost then you're telling everyone that you think that's relevant information which is, well.. the entire problem - you're telling everyone around you that you think it has predictive power.
But that's what racists are, people who think the race of a person has predictive power with regard to their nature, culture etc.

#9This reads like a satire article, ain't no way this is real journalism. Im unsure if you can draw a line asking AI legitimate questions.
