If they're random, they can not be racist. That's my point. They're returning output based on the data they've been fed (assuming we're talking about training an LLM on Twitter).

I have noticed that North American grifters pretend that AI is much better than it is, thank you very much. I also notice that China is taking a different approach, with the population being significantly more hopeful about AI going forward as a result.

I think AI "critique" on Lemmy is, for the most part, North American backlash stemming from bad practices, overpromising, environmental destruction and a general financial grift that threatens jobs. Those are all very relevant and valid, but I think it completely misses the point to blame a technology rather than a political/economic system.
