WTF is this? A Black AI? Dunno if this is gaslighting

Racial stereotypes were upended during a recent study that involved artificial intelligence. New research from the University of Georgia found that Black bots were considered more competent and more human than white or Asian bots used in the same study. This contrasts with past research on human-to-human interactions.
The full study, which was published in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research, can be read here.

I wonder if it's because people stereotype black people as being dumb, so if you have an AI, which people consider hyper Intelligent, juxtaposed with that, that you end up with a feeling of an AI that is closer to human.

Attempts to anthropomorphize this stuff just shows how early into it we are. There's no point to putting the human in it. It needs to be put in humans. Unless you want to accept redundancy.

A black AI. Really? Remember ALL media just wants to piss you off. Please please remember this. That's the whole goal so they keep us at each other's throats instead of focusing on their corruption.

Putting race or culture in AI could be useful as test cases for analysis I suppose but it seems like a dead end either for itself or humans, at least east as we know it. Very early times and far to go.

What do you mean? They're talking about from the user perspective which "race" the avatar of the AI appears to be. I do find this study suspect tho

I don't think it's that deep. It's literally pixels on the screen and mfs are calling it a different race.

I'm Black so please tell me what my culture is.... Or what it's supposed to be.

WTF is a Black bot,? Lol

I can't wait to tell that bot it ain't Black is it doesn't fill in these simple stereotypes...... S/

This is sad

Ha! I don't know. The people doing this must have a difficult job and I'm sure they don't know what they're doing.

Hey, thats great that you dont let your bias in the way things look impact you but unfortunately we know that most people do. Dont get confused though, everything is deep. Everything is connected. The people who try to convince you otherwise are just trying to get you to look elsewhere so you dont see what theyre doing.

So listen here mother fucker. How the fuck are you going to tell me how I'm feeling based off a fucking post? You don't know me.

See....now that's angry.

This shit did not make me angry. But the title is written that way to make you feel a certain way and to get a certain reaction out of you. If you are too oblivious to see that, then we have nothing to talk about. Move along.

Man, people bitch about everything, you can't win.

When AI terminates people based on mere performance metrics and efficiency, people bitch about cold machines.

When humans instruct AI to fire based on their opinions and preferences, it is considered racist for somebody eventually will get the short end of the stick.

Can't win.

My guess is that its an AI trained on text or voice or some input from only black people. Personally i think its pretty dumb though

Well put sir! It's all about clicks and distraction.
