You write this as if the AI itself independently decided to write that profile. That's almost assuredly not the case. Someone at Meta decided to make a bot that reinforced race identity and announce it, and likely tuned the LLM behind it to specifically do things to reinforce that identity and pretend as best as possible to be the exact menanin-informed expectation of its AI-generated avatar.

An AI bot didn't try to do this. Someone at Meta, who was likely none of the things in the profile, decided to do this.

And the only way to construct an AI like that is to enumerate tainted stereotypes. It's an all around bad idea regardless of if you're pro-DEI or anti-woke.

There are numerous fake social media pages where posters oretend to be a minority, but are run by state actors to sow division in the US. Those have been extremely successful in fooling people; I wonder if its success is related to pre-existing biases readers already have in terms how they think "others" talk.
