WhatsApp’s AI shows gun-wielding children when prompted with ‘Palestine’::By contrast, prompts for ‘Israeli’ do not generate images of people wielding guns, even in response to a prompt for ‘Israel army’
Systemic prejudices showing up in datasets causing generative systems to spew biased output? Gasp… say it isn’t so?
I’m not sure why this is surprising anymore. This is literally expected behavior unless we get our shit together and get a grip on these systemic problems. The rest of it all is just patch work and bandages.
Honestly, I can’t even say I’m disappointed. I’ve lost all hope in Facebook.
This isn’t anything they actively did though. The literal point of AI is that it learns on its own and comes up with its own response absent human interaction. Meta very likely specifically added code to try and prevent this, but it just fell short of overcoming the bias found in the overwhelming majority of content that led to the model associating Hamas with Palestine.
I forget if it was on here or Reddit, but I remember seeing an article a week or so ago where the translation feature on Facebook ended up calling Palestinians terrorists “accidentally”. I cited the fact that Mark is Jewish, and probably so are a lot of the people that work there. The US is also largely pro-Israel, so it was probably less of an accidental bug and more of an intentional “fuck Palestine”. I got downvoted to hell and called a conspiracy theorist. I think this confirms I had the right idea.
Lmao
ai is just a computer pretending to be a regular dingus on the internet
That seems to be some sort of cyborg on the left with a hybrid hand/stock. Wow!
Israel perpetrates atrocities against Palestinians, creating terrorists, which Israel uses as an excuse to continue stealing land and killing Palestinians, creating more terrorists, which Israel… a few decades of that now. Would be quite happy to end that ancient war with nukes, and put up a monument on the green glowing glass - “This is what religion gets you”
Gun wielding children doesn’t sound very far off considering the situation and the population
Wow did y’all read to the bottom of the page? They ask for “support” making use of the Israel-Gaza conflict:
I thought they were gonna donate some proceeds or something, but nah.
The Isreal-Hamas war has really shaken all of us. That’s why I’ve started this GoFundMe. For $2 a month, you can support me in my grief over the conflict. The premium platinum diamond tier for $20 a month will get you access to exclusive photos of me looking pensive and sad about the whole thing.
A step forwards for accuracy in AI, nice work Meta.
The children of Gaza are indoctrinated in school, and taught how to use guns by their terrorist leaders. There is a ton of footage showing this. It’s not even debated is it?
Ai is just using the information available to respond to the request. Facts are facts as tragic as they might be.
