this is digital blackface and racist as fuck.

whomever is doing this knows Black people are THE Culture; so how swell it is to make money off Black culture without Black people?

and don't get me started with the fact that automata are proxies for SLAVES.

don't hesitate to call out Alphabet/Google/Youtube for making money off Black digital slaves.

this isn't progress. this is still baldfaced racism.

@blogdiva Also remember that a lot of the work that is presented to us as AI is extremely dependent on low-wage hard labour by Africans. The most reports I've seen have been about Kenya, but there are probably other countries high on the list as well.
