I saw a big drama about a new AI word game.
People said it was ethical AI, that it was "harmless" and "just for fun" and didn't infringe on anyone.

You play it by combining two words to make a new word, e.g "Water" + "Fire" makes "Steam", "Shark" + "Hurricane" makes "Sharknado", etc.

I went to play it myself and sure enough, it seemed harmless and the endless combinations were fun.

Then I found that "Palestine" + "Child" makes "Terrorist".

@Eralea AI loves to "learn" from what we tell it, it's so fast to pick up racism I assume because we humans are so bloody racist. How fucking depressing

But it's worth realizing that it probably also picks up these associations from pushback: Something like "How could you say that!? You might as well suggest that every Palestinian child is a terrorist or something!" makes it into the training data and increases the model's connection between those words.

My point being, humans maybe aren't *so* bad.
