...At which point we would get a series of think-pieces about whether the AI was implicitly misogynist.
- untog 10y agoNo, we wouldn't. We might get a debate about whether programming such a feature is misogynist (which it pretty much is), but I can't exactly imagine the debate would be centered around an AI doing what it's programmed to do.

- untog 10y agoI'm not saying it isn't a valid debate, I'm saying in this instance the premise is already misogynistic before a single line of code is written, so the debate doesn't apply here.
- minimuffins 10y agoIt sounds like you don't think that is a question worth asking. Why?
- icebraining 10y agoWell, surely it would be explicitly misogynistic.
