    This is to be expected. AI will model itself after the data that was entered in. And since that data is sexist, racist, misogynistic, and otherwise, the outputs will skew that way too.

          Similarly, the cotton gin could have been strictly a societal improvement but the slavery industry made slavery worse by expanding with the cotton gin’s use, and that persisted until slavery was (mostly) abolished.
