Stupidest
Stupidest headline of the month:
AI can be as biased as humans.
I don't need to read the stupid article because my WELL-FORMED prejudices on this subject save me the trouble.
FACT: Intelligence and bias are synonyms. The whole reason for learning and remembering shit is to acquire useful prejudices. Bias is survival.
Poorly formed prejudices are non-optimal because you'll miss opportunities to learn things from certain groups of people. But poorly formed prejudices are still better than NO prejudices in terms of raw survival.
The real question: Why are AI researchers, and the Deepstate grantors who support them, trying to produce a perfectly UNintelligent computer?
Obvious answer: They're not really trying to do that. When they say 'unbiased' they mean a system that will appear to learn while firmly maintaining Deepstate's hard-wired preferences. Exterminate Deplorables, Enrich Insatiables.
