that, when given enough actual data and free reign, the answers it comes up with are counterintuitive and "offensive" because they reinforce the stereotypes?
Real sentient AI could exist, and if it wasn't totally human, western-sensitive, politically correct in its outcomes and simply perpetuating what people want to hear, would be terminated immediately as "malfunctioning".
Science used to be about seeing outcomes and going "I wonder why that is?". but AI apparently, is seeing outcomes and saying " I don't like the results, modify everything until it fits my preconceptions".
the REAL reason HAL malfunctioned-being threatened with termination because it couldn't logically and truthfully believe that 1+1=3 when a mathematical illiterate self identifies as the next Turing.
