Reply to comment by Pkactus in AI Seinfeld banned on Twitch over transphobic jokes by asjonesy99

Intention is important but it’s not as important as impact. Now I’m not saying this “joke” had a bad impact. I’ll defer to the trans community on that. I don’t think it does but they have experiences and perspectives that I don’t that could color it.

But a lot of people are talking about intention and that’s not the point.

agreed. its not THE point. Im just curious. it sure seems a slippery slope we are upon.

edit: confused as the votes, in the downward position, as i ask for clarification on a concept that will become very important in the near future.

This is a really hard philosophical question. Does language have inherent meaning? What does something mean if it's created by a machine?

Even if a computer writes, "The dog ran up the hill," you understand those words in that order. I don't think it matters if the AI "understands" what it wrote because the humans around it do and can potentially be affected by its statements/actions.

It’s a joke. Impact is irrelevant. Get over it.

Jokes have impact. This joke didn’t impact me but you can’t say whatever you want and pretend it doesn’t matter because “it’s a joke.”
