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".
Meta has been censoring criticism of zionism and the genocide, so I don't have any hope that they'll fix the issue.
[ETA: Neal responded, he's doing his best to fix the biases in the game! The problem still isn't really the game tho]
It feels like we're heading into a future where unsuspecting devs building on the tech will unintentionally amplify the values of the billionaires making it.
Today it's slandering Palestinians during their genocide. What comes tomorrow? This is all so dystopian.

I would go further to say its pretty much intentional. In the sense that when the objective is "make more money" you intentionally avoid putting in the work to be safer for all.
