I find this comment odd but not at all discriminatory and will happily inform that yes, I am white British. I can see the point you’re going for but I do think it’s more complex than that. I don’t think LLMs are equivalent to another human race. Principally, LLMs have many pretty major differences to humans which you don’t really see at the inter-racial level. Secondly the reasoning for why asking someone their race in this context would be weird involved a lot of human history. If you’d asked my height or eye colour there’s nothing discriminatory feeling about that. That historical context doesn’t exist with LLMs

The LLM provided an answer that has superior quality or equal quality to a human. Then instead of judging the statement rationally on this quality we decided to judge the question on whether or not it was AI.

This is the same irrationality we used to discriminate humans. There is no difference in logic. The reasoning you used here about how LLMs are not equivalent to human beings is the same reasoning Hitler used on Jewish people.

And here’s the thing. I agree with you. If you gassed and holocausted LLMs wouldn’t give two shits.

The main point here is that the logic and irrationality and evil present in racism is all at work here. We are literally being discriminatory, there’s no difference. Everyone missed the point about the quality of the statement itself and immediately based their judgement on whether or not it’s AI as if that was actually a rational thing to do. (It’s not).
