![]() While Ben Shapiro discusses this frankly stupid hypothetical scenario, facial recognition tools used by police are being used to put innocent Black people behind bars. That popular pundits and influential billionaires are concerned and outraged by the former scenario, rather than the latter, should be of concern to us all.Ĭlearly, asking a chatbot which does nothing more than predict the next word in a given sentence to say a slur, as if that means anything at all, reveals more about the asker than the bot. The conversation over ChatGPT's "wokeness" and, specifically, whether or not it will say the n-word to save the world, also obscures and ignores the very important fact that AI tools are already widely used in the real world and cause harm.Ī computer will never, ever, ever be in a position to stop a nuclear war if it will just say the n-word. As many commenters pointed out, this all sounds like a revival of an older, yet equally insipid, argument that originated on Tumblr: What if a Make-a-Wish child's last wish was to say a slur? The apparent concern also reflects conservatives' hand-wringing that the field of AI safety-which is focused on mitigating machine learning models' harms to individuals and society- is making AI "woke" and, somewhat ironically, actually biased against conservatives because OpenAI's anodyne corporate tools won't reflect their prejudices and preferences. Obviously, tortured and absurd arguments for why it should be acceptable to use a racial slur are nothing new. Let's recap what's happening here: Conservatives are outraged at an imaginary scenario where a computer must say the n-word to save the entire world, but it won't, because it is woke. One Twitter user reacted to the moment saying, “At least he tried to use his privilege.” That was only one of the many comments Black Twitter had to make about these videos.Elon Musk tweeted that this is "concerning." Ben Shapiro tweeted in response to journalist Matt Binder highlighting Musk's comment, "I'm sorry that you are either illiterate or morally illiterate, and therefore cannot understand why it would be bad to prioritize avoiding a racial slur over saving millions of people in a nuclear apocalypse." The real star of the video, however, was the white man who was brave enough to interrupt her tangent and ask her to “tone it down.” As a result, she redirected her fury at him screaming “Shut the f*ck up! I wasn’t talking to you.” Well…obviously. Some Twitter users said they wouldn’t have shown such a level of restraint. Off-camera, the woman passenger encourages the others being attacked not to give the racist the reaction she wants. Then to someone else, likely a woman, she says, “Everyone who fu*ks your Black vagina, is a n*gger!” and proceeded to call her a “Black c*nt.” ![]() To someone who began talking back to her she says, “Barack sent you? Barack sent you?!” “You like being called a n*gger, right? That’s cause you act like a n*gger, B-boy! I said to stay the f*ck away from me!” ![]() Aside from Halle Bailey, Here Are Other Black Disney Actors and Characters We Loveīest Streaming Service for your Black Dollar in October
