@gavin57 @troed @lutindiscret @haubles I can’t see that he’s suggesting any of the things you are saying he is when reading the link you provided

@kwazekwaze @mathew @davidgerard Congratulations, you’ve just summarized my own original point back to me:

Not that I'm pro AI, but they didn't just steal the nice things and then add the evil things. The racism stem from the same source as the art and code..

I ducking hate this website

@kwazekwaze @mathew @davidgerard Gosh, I don’t really know how to respond at an adequate level..

My point was that the quote externalizes negative attributes which we possess. Which rids us, in our own mind, of the responsibility and of the consequences of our actions. Instead we pin it on someone else.

The negative attribute, in this instance being racism (which you imagine to be of another species in your allegory) comes from us. I think that might just be a bit bigger issue than that some of it ended up in ai.

So I guess I’m saying: yo, some of the cockroaches from my cockroach infestation ended up in the cake you baked. I should probably call pest-control rather than pin it on you.. yo
