#i genuinely hope that ai starts to die down (pretty sure i saw some article that implied it was beginning to)

Yeah this is one of the reasons machine learning sucks. Not only will bias (accidental or intentional) from programmers peek through (that's why a lot of the automatic soap dispensers struggle with darker skin tones), since the "AI" machine learning it scraps all sorts of stuff from all over the web that will be reflected in what it generates. And on top of that machine learning is based on patterns, and thus will exclude outliers and amplify biases – which in turn will cause it to have a strong tendency to remove diverse elements or worse, "confirm" racist or other bigotry. As in the example above the "AI", a glorified pattern recognition machine, kept giving black people lower scores consistently. That is not a proof of black people being worse at their jobs, that's a proof of a biased programming. And you can bet that "applications review AI" will be biased in the exact same ways because it's trained in the same biased bs data, there is no way they carefully hands-collected or crafted data to make it as diverse an unbiased as possible. And you can probably also bet that if you check that little box your application will be instantly trashed. At least that person in the notes who said the AI probably wasn't smart enough to see through the "buzzwords in white and 5pt" trick might be onto something though. If they're gonna cheat the system then maybe we should do it back too

#i think what bugs me the most is that people don't think critically about the pitfalls of using ai#like sure it can be used as a great tool if you remember to be smarter than it and critical af and only use it as an aid and so on#(eg get help with writing application letters to 85364795 jobs because those are evil too so fight fire with fire so avoid madness i guess)#but that's not how most people appear to be using it#the technology is moving too fast#legalisations to protect artists and writers can't keep up#there is no control over exactly what data is being used for it to train on#or that it somehow correctly “categorises” what info comes from so it doesn't present hate group propaganda as facts#(like that video with the guy who demonstrated this with art ai and autism and got obvious autism speaks stuff)#i genuinely hope that ai starts to die down (pretty sure i saw some article that implied it was beginning to)#but i don't think ai will disappear completely#but it would probably be helpful if the system crashed completely and then was reformed these tendencies in mind#anyway as it is now and seems to be for the foreseeable future: i hate it#fuck ai
