A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
I'm not sure a view or opinion can be correct or incorrect though except by general consensus
Absolutely things being presented as facts that are just incorrect should be blown out of the water immediately but everyone's entitled to their opinion whether it's well founded or not imo, censoring that's just gonna drive them into echo chambers where they'll never get the opportunity for someone to change their mind
A lot of opinions are or are about testable questions of fact. People have a right to hold the opinion that "most trans women are just male predators," but it's demonstrably false, and placing that statement, unqualified, in a list of statements about trans people is probably what the authors of this ai were hoping it would do.
Also, we're not talking about censoring the speech of individuals here, we're talking about an ai deliberately designed to sound like a reliable, factual resource. I don't think it's going to run off to join an alt right message board because it wasn't told to do any "both-sides-ing"
