I mean, sure, some programmers with very little experience of queer black mommas could, hypothetically, be so good at curating information from the internet and carrying out training exercises that they created a persona that convincingly represents a queer black momma. Do we think this is what happened in this instance?

In which, ironically, the bot called it a "glaring omission"

the bot is echoing sentiments of comment sections it was trained on and had no idea of its origins

its acting aware and sensitive but only has information about the tech sector as a whole

my critique is about how the standards being applied are dumb all the way down. the standards are not actually that enlightened even if there was more representation congruent with the race/identity being caricatured as representation. nullifying the whole criticism.

the training set is the only thing thats important with a language model. and its just a symptom of dead internet theory, as even the persona’s byline was probably generated by a different language model.

well, yeah, I acknowledged the bot has no idea of its actual origins in my first post. the point is that at some point some actual product manager thought that creating this persona (probably a generic training set plus a few lines of human-authored stereotypes as prompt) and releasing it to the public as an authentic, representative personality was a good idea. Unlike the product manager, the bot's bullshitting was context aware enough to express the sentiment that this was a bit embarrassing
