Re: Racist AI or offensive and crude slang? You decide...
"Offense is taken, not given"
The problem with that is you could apply it to any words at all. *All* words are just arbitrary sounds (or strings) with shared meaning. And the shared meaning of offensive words is that they are offensive.
We *do* run into problems where words mean different things in different groups and contexts, but it's not an insoluble problem; courts for example solve it all the time.
