They're saying that racist stereotypes are true, specifically.

No, I am saying that the cure is worse than the disease. The proper fix for the AI being racist is to make it able to not be racist on it's own (which would probably need much deeper understanding on the side of the AI), not forbid everything that passes some primitive heuristic of "being racist". One is painful and correct, the other is easy and feelgood and doomed.

Fair enough, that's what I get for bringing reddit discussion norms with me.

Though because of how general purpose these models are, I have a hard time believing such a model couldn't be used to generate reams of racist screeds for propaganda/astroturfing purposes.
