Random Idiocy
There are legitimate concerns over the use of artificial intelligence. While it is a great labor saver, there are situations when its abilities are somewhat constrained.
Steve Sailer has an interesting example over at unz.com.
“We hear much about the menace posed by racist robots, but mighty Google appears to have succeeded in inventing artificial intelligence with the natural stupidity of a professor of intersectionality.
“Late last year, a YouTuber who produces popular chess videos found that his channel was blocked over charges of ‘harmful and dangerous’ content. Even though the channel was restored within 24 hours, YouTube did not explain why it had blocked Croatian chess player Antonio Radic, also known as ‘Agadmator,’ from its platform briefly, the Dailymail reported.”
Experts who viewed the comments section theorize that it was words like “white,” “black,” “attack,” and “threat” that caused Google AI filters to think that the comments were racist. A test of several hundred thousand chess comments revealed that AI software flagged an overwhelming majority (82%) of them as problematic.
