To follow up (from a different debate, but this point still stands)

This is one of the best criticisms of AI that I have read.
Leaving science alone and working on our own biases should be the way forward.
But with censorship on the rise in every corner of the world and political spectrum, I would say things are bleak.

But who decides which biases are good or bad? If we have no yardstick for that, we become ineffective at personal progress.
We are seeing every day how AI can be used to censor and suppress, that means we need to be increasingly systematic in how we approach biases both in practice and as a concept (the latter aimed really at those who apply political dogma to what is ultimately a scientific question).
