@hex every time I see an article like this lately it makes me wanna shake the author and be like "yeah no shit! Us computer folk been talking about data bias way before ChatGPT was a thing. There have literally been protests about this at a few tech companies in the last decade.
And if you missed any of the influential books about algorithmic and data bias in the late 2010s, or thought LLMs were going to be magic, there was literally a review paper that predicted this stuff about LLMs that became subject of pretty major news even outside of tech circles because Google fired the women who tried to publish it.
FYI it also has racist, sexist, and transmisic implications in policing (and military!) applications that have been public for a while, just in case that was news to you.".
