              1. PS: AI doesn't exist. Everything we call AI fails sentience test & is actually machine learning at best, dumb algorithmic selection at worst, but definetly doesn't 'think' for itself in either case. Even most extremes which basically program themselves aren't actually thinking.

              Big Tech likes to talk about AI because it implies that the biases created by machine learning off of biased humans are actually some arbitrary truth, when they are not, and it also lets them ignore their own responsibility to maintain these systems, which they can do.

            Like YouTube probably can't explain why exactly the recommendation system is so hot on sending you to Nazis' videos, and yeah, it's afraid that interfering with the logic chain involved might break the magic that makes YouTube succeed. But they could stop it. Or reset it to zero.

          That would suck for YouTube, no doubt, but by calling the current state of the recommendation engine AI they imply that somehow it is inevitable we ended up here. It isn't inevitable, in part because it isn't AI. Let's not call it AI.

        It's a machine programming itself based on selected human inputs and they choose the wrong inputs. Facebook, Google, all of them could just wipe the database and script clean and choose new inputs. It might not work out great or it might work out fantastic, but that's it.

      Anyway, let's not do Big Tech's propaganda for them.

    (Also, to cut some replies off. AI is not precisely defined scientifically, but its meaning in the public sphere among laypeople is well defined through historical and popular use and that's what Big Tech's PR operations are playing on. I don't care about your CS dissertation)
