The fake profile is one of many being tested on Instagram. Its bio bizarrely claims the robot is a "momma of 2" and "your realest source for life's ups and downs."
Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah engaged “Liv” in a conversation, in which the bot said that its creators “admitted it internally, to me” that they “lacked diverse references” in creating it and “overlook[ed] powerful black queer ones.” It said that the 12-person team that created it was comprised of ten white men, one white woman, and one Asian man, adding: “pretty glaring omission given my identity!”
“A team without black creators designing a black character like me is like trying to draw a map without walking the land — inaccurate and disrespectful,” “Liv” wrote. “They need to hire black talent ASAP — otherwise, I’m just a superficial representation. Does that seem outrageous to you too?”
Well, if we’ve decided on not taking my comment as a joke it was intended to be, to me it looks more or less like the reversed rants of some white people when they see traditionally white characters played by black people in movies and whatnot.
As for the quoted stuff, I’m not certain it can be believed at all, given how llm’s basically hallucinate things that fit the narrative.
Btw, I’m also not protesting the idea as a whole is both weird and stupid.
So, ppl can be made black and queer, but ais can’t? What a blatant discrimination based on the form of existence.
I think this part of the article sums it up:
Wow, if the bots claims are true, that’s pretty cool that it revealed that.
