        AI is largely coded and trained by rich white dudes in Silicon Valley. Then fed racially biased material, I don’t know what you were expecting.

        Even before the current “AI”, machine learning would do racist shit all the time. Like when Apple Photos would tag the faces of black people and ask “Is this a dog?”

        There’s also an ongoing discussion about how the color balance on almost every digital camera ever made favors light skin over dark skin.

          AI is largely coded and trained by immigrants, often from Asia. As white as satya nadella and sundar pichai.

        Remember the response to Deepseek? They aren’t universally pro-AI, they want American technocrats to be the ones who control the AI that they feel will eventually take over the world.

        There was quite a bit of “racism” or at the very least fearmongering when Deepseek was released.
