Reading the below tweet, I can’t help but think of the Jane’s Addiction lyric: “Everybody’s so full of shit.”
The problem with crap AI is not that it gets individuals’ intentions or expressions wrong once every 1000 or so times, but that for one in a thousand people it gets their intentions wrong all the time. The inconvenience (or oppression) is not evenly distribued.
It’s like people with a middle-eastern heritage being chosen for random TSA extra searches every damn time they fly.
