I've used apps that thought I was a monkey but it recognized white people just fine, I've seen racist chat bots go on about how much they love hitler and hate black people, I've saw ai generated photos that produced racist depictions. What I'm wondering is it the developers making the ai racist or is it the code itself that is racist? I don't believe that any machine has reached sentience obviously, but I have no doubt in my mind that all ai I have experienced is racist, all I ask is why?

    I can't remember who said this, but someone somewhere once claimed that joint stock companies are the first artificial intelligences that have ever come into existence, and—as all of us know—they tend to be racist as fuck and likewise to take a pretty dim view of humanity.
