Yep, you nailed it. You really don't have to think hard about why AI which only learns from what we feed it and can access has gaps and biases more pronounced than the real world. AI lives in the internet world, it's trained on horrible cesspools of anonymous text like 4chan and reddit. No wonder it will be biased. If you only try to feed it sanitary data you wouldn't have enough to get the results we get now.

So it's really not the future of AI we should be worrying about...

People are different because they have human social interaction offline where terminally online stereotypes and biases often fall apart
