Why do these dudes never take into account that AI systems are programed by humans, and the mass data scrapings used to find patterns are recorded human behaviours, so will include the total sum of our dumassry, narcissim/lack of empathic capacity, impulse control issues, and so forth?
Yes, humans have empathy and will pack bond with any-damn-thing.
But empathy and kindness and logic is a taught skill.
Individuals do have a variation in how well they can learn and implement these skills when they are taught them (by whatever means).
But they are taught through a thousand little situations between individuals, and individuals and wider society.
Difficult to do with AI programs.
Especially if some idiot tech bro thinks certain patterns and info are unnecessary/superfluous/junk and disregards them in an effort to streamline things.
