The problem which the quote is pointing to here, is that then people use the old garbage to justify the new reprocessed garbage and vice versa, and it becomes harder for people to realise that it's garbage.
The accusation here is that they're maintaining the status quo, in a way, instead of working on making things better.
True, but the research they are doing - "improving" language to reduce bias, reeks to me of 1984's Doublespeak.
What are the chances this won't be co-opted by the other side, to enhance divisions?
You're right, let's just do nothing and let the problem get even worse as we push blame onto an algorithm rather than deeply ingrained societal issues
I think you are misinterpreting my statement. I never said blame algorithm. I just said, what happens if algorithm (for eliminating some thought patterns using language inference) is used by the other side?
