This problem goes beyond warping perception of women. Every facet of humanity that can be written about will be vectorized to save space and weighted by the big labs, with their owners’ and investors’ thumbs in the scale. Imagine the phrase “There are two kinds of people,” but it’s literal and creates a push to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Propaganda was already doing this work, but with an ASI trained on very limited, dogmatic views on acceptable human characteristics, and personalizing a propaganda injection for everyone’s content across mediums…This is how you get Warhammer humans, as well as how you get an ASI that doesn’t see the value in keeping humanity around.
