I found this while browsing Reddit, and going past the first reaction of “this is terrible” I think it can spark an interesting discussion on machine learning and how our own societal problems can end up creating bad habits and immortalizing those issues when building such systems.

So, what do you guys think about this?

    Haha they is a gender neutral single pronoun, its in the dictionary. I don’t mind machine learning in a sense because it helps to illuminate things like this. if it just spits out what it’s learned, that’s literally what humans do and what we are learning in turn. The only difference is humans can review things like this and change.
