    The very same AI that shows pictures of black people with dreadlocks when asked to show a typical viking also has a braindead response for a question involving Hitler and a guy who posts retarded tweets and regularly pisses off his shareholders? I am shocked.

    AI is still so ridiculously tainted by bias and the relative infancy of the tech.

      Time to shelve retarded as an insult. I used it too in the past, but it’s best not to use it any more.

      Intellectually handicapped folks can’t help it and didn’t choose it.

        I have autism and ADHD, so no, I won’t stop using it. I don’t like the idea of a word having any real power, which restricting its usage does. There is no debate here for me, I am completely against that kind of thing.

          Uh, ok? It’s bigoted language, it’s outdated and no longer used in the medical fields. Intellectually disabled is the accepted, appropriate term. This isn’t my opinion or idea, it’s the standard now as determined by both professionals, and those who would have formerly been labeled as that word.

          Similar to saying someone is “spazzing out” or is a “skitzo”. Or saying some inconvenience is “gay”. It’s not appropriate.

          You do you, but it’s a slur now. you can SELF DESCRIBE as whatever you like and use whatever labels or descriptors for yourself you see fit. No one can police that. But it is bigoted speech to use slurs about things like disabilities, orientations or similar for other people.

          To help you relate: it would not be appropriate to “make fun of” someone by saying they have autism or ADHD

              I do not have to agree with someone who uses slurs about disabled people, that’s correct.

              Next you’ll justify using the n word

          I’m not going to play word police but I am going to attempt to change your mind. Dumb used to be the medical terminology to mean the same thing as what you said and it’s not considered a slur or a disparaging insult. And so the word does have more bite and it does have power.

          I’m not going to get offended if you keep using it as an insult but using it says more about the emotional maturity of the person who said it than it does about the person being insulted by it.

        Wait, doesn’t it just say “removed” for all of you? Is my instance doing that?

            This might actually make me switch instances. I don’t get what the point of the filter even is, I’m not 6 anymore, it’s fine if I see no-no words.

              I see the original word. I’m on sh.itjust.works if that’s helpful, you can imagine they probably don’t filter bad words :-)

              My biggest complaint is that I can’t actually see what slur was removed, and there are some softball words in the list that I honestly don’t give a shit about, so I am always hesitant to report one of these posts because I don’t know exactly what they said.

              “Removed” could be the n-word, or it could just be a rude word, so how am I supposed to make a call whenever I see it?

          Yeah… It’s the slur filter, now days it can be enabled or not by the instance but in past it was hard coded. Unfortunately I don’t think there is individual user setting to disable it for themselves.

      While agree that Gemini does a terrible job on this task, the model that generates the images (text-to-image) is entirely different from the model that incorrectly answers the comparison between Musk and Hitler (text-to-text). All they share is the same product name (Gemini) and the same company that developed them. Probably entirely different teams built these two models.
