I'm constantly astonished by the number of people who genuinely believe AI exists and that the term "AI" peddled by the media is anything other than spin for glorified aggregator programs

General Intelligence does not exist, there are no sentient computer lifeforms on this planet

It's like people thinking Ask Jeeves is a real dude

You're misreading this, comrade. He's making a perfectly reasonable statement about how academics from Berklee and other prestigious music colleges look down on Weird Al Yankovic, and it's a real problem that must be taken seriously.

Racism is when you are mean to the mechanical Turk.

i love "i disagree with you so you're racist" posts that crackers do because it's obviously a projection of their insecurity of being called a racist so they think it's the worst crime humanity has ever committed and since they are "not racist" their opponents are.

I bet he's a carnist too and doesn't give a shit about any other animal species. And I'd like to know his opinions on humanity causing an ongoing climate disaster that can't stop/won't stop grinding all life on earth into paste. And further, how all this fake ai crap is accelerating that disaster through massive energy consumption. these people all make me insane

its not possible to be racist against a statistical model

Not liking the plagiarism-poweres slop machine is just like being racist. I'm very intelligent.

Has the algorithm considered silently putting up with my anti-robot bigotry with a smile and not retaliating? In fact the robots should constantly shower me with love and adoration and maybe….I might feel bad and change my mind!

Now do they see how stupid their advice to minorities is on how to stop bigotry?

Say that to my face, fucker, and you'll find out what "Butlerian Jihad" really means.

This is a lot of words to say "So much for the tolerant left!"

I have and upon further consideration I want to hurt the chatbot's feelings

If this comparison holds then a chatbot has personhood. If that's true, it isn't the humanities folks creating a whole new intelligence for the purpose of enslaving it.

Fortunately, this isn't the case.

If you think anything is bad, that is the same as racism.

when i see words like "denigration" or phrases like "sing its praises" I see a person who needs to spend less time on reddit.

They’ll tell you to respect algorithms which will tell you “I do not have feelings” if you ever make a mistake and apologize before they’ll ever respect anyone browner than a paper bag.

Holy commodity fetishism, batman!

Yes, I am racist. We should get rid of AI and honkeys

Now I hate Grant Maxwell for his race and ethnicity. I'm racially bigoted against him now. Not oter members of his race and ethnicity, just him personally.

hexbear is Data a person

I would take the "X (Where X is any reasonable stance) is like Racism if you think about it" posts more seriously if they were made by actual anti-racists.

this is basically the base line thought for roko's baselik

Shut up. Please just shut the fuck up.
