    While this is true in aggregate, consider Elon’s Grok which then turned around and recognized trans women as women, black crime stats as nuanced, and the “woke mind virus” as valuable social progress.

    This was supposed to be his no holds barred free speech AI and rather than censor itself it told his paying users that they were fucking morons.

    Or Gab’s Adolf Hitler AI which, when asked by a user if Jews were vermin, said they were disgusting for having suggested such a thing.

    So yes, AI is a reflection of human nature, but it isn’t necessarily an easily controlled or shaped reflection of that.

    Though personally I’m not nearly as concerned about that being the continuing case as most people it seems. I’m not afraid of a world in which there’s greater intelligence and wisdom (human or otherwise) but one in which there is less.

      AI is a reflection of human nature, but it isn’t necessarily an easily controlled or shaped reflection of that.

      This partly true especially models that deployed on public and uses large samples gathered from large amount of peoples. Now the parts that we can’t control is if the model is trained with skewed dataset that benefits certain outcomes.
