It’s one that is sure to be controversial, considering that the UN itself says a major problem facing refugees is their dehumanization for political gain or convenience.
No fucking shit.
Privileged people in the West already struggle to believe that refugees are actually people.
So the UN creates another barrier to understanding, and lets privileged Westerners tell themselves “this is only a simulation, actual people don’t have it that bad”?
Silencing the real voices of actual refugees seeking help, and replacing them with a fucking autocorrect algorithm?
I feel like I can handle most AI bullshit calmly and objectively at this point. But AI generated fake refugees? I didn’t think I could get this angry about AI anymore.
And I can’t even wish horrible fates on the assholes who implemented these AIs because I feel like they had the best of intentions, to raise awareness about actual refugees and so on and so forth. They were just so fucking stupid they thought this was a good way to do it.
