It’s putting human biases on full display at a grand scale.

The skin color of people in images doesn't matter that much.

The problem is these AI systems have more subtle biases, ones that aren't easily revealed with simple prompts and amusing images, and these AIs are being put to work making decisions who knows where.

Well, humans are similar to pigs in the sense that they'll always find the stinkiest pile of junk in the area and taste it before any alternative.

EDIT: That's about popularity of "AI" today, and not some semantic expert systems like what they'd do with Lisp machines.
