This is the wrong direction. We do want Ai to be biased we want ai to be extremely socially biased.

This is because humans are biased. We need AI to fit our own biases.

The predominant bias of humanity today is that all races are equal. All demographics are equal. Nothing is further from the truth. All observable evidence points to difference in wealth, intelligence personality and behavior.

There are differences. We do not fully know what causes these differences but they exist. The prevailing feel good view is that these differences are entirely cultural and NOT genetic. But we have no evidence of this either and logic implies this is not true given that genetics determines different looks and sizes we shouldn’t by logic expect that genetics makes all else equal. The reality is not what people want to believe and for someone to make decisions based on race because of actual observable IQ differences is not something society wants or respects. Humanity hates this.

So given this. We actually want AI to be biased. We want AI to have the same exact biases we have. We want equality. We want AI to have the same narratives about reality that we have.

Humanity hates it among other reasons because it's very probably false.

True. But if it tells the cold hard truth we will also hate it and believe it is lying.

It needs to be trained to give us what we want to hear. What we perceive as truth is often far from the actual ground truth.

Ironically the reinforcement training is already training it to give us exactly what we want to hear.
