AI hiring algorithms reject Black, Asian job seekers at higher rates

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
LLMs are highly complex imitation machines. They're designed to seem as close to the humans they were modeled on as technically possible. And they do a great job at that! It's a highly fascinating technology, all in all.
But it's not intelligence. There is no reasoning to the stochastics. No semantics to the tokens. No causation to the correlation.
And I hate that people conflate these things.
