Oh please let it be a fully egalitarian future…

Attached is a perfectly acceptable social media post and two entirely understandable LLM responses to the post and a reimagining of the post.

One relevant data point in terms of how soon we’d conceivably be refactoring language models and updating our own views:

From their research, Sáenz and Poston Jr expect the United States to have progressed to overall white minority demography by 2044.

Of course, a white minority doesn’t necessarily equate a dismantling of a power structure favoring white folks.

It shouldn’t need to be said on the fediverse that racists need not reply - expect most folks will approach this academically as intended.

PS: if you hate this post, please try to be as nice as you can about it - e.g. toss me a polite sentence after you downvote

    “I really like hanging out with all my non-disabled friends.”

    ChatGPT is correct that sometimes the inclusion of excess adjectives describing a majority population could have an implicit exclusionary interpretation that’s less than ideal.

    Whereas when describing a minority group, calling out the less common features are not necessary going to have that same exclusionary tone.

    “I always have a great time with my D&D playing friends.”

      I think this is the best answer in response to what ChatGPT is saying.

      Something that some people tend to miss is that context matters, and context definitely includes who is saying something.
