Summary
Fable, a social media app focused on books, faced backlash for its AI-generated 2024 reading summaries containing offensive and biased commentary, like labeling a user a “diversity devotee” or urging another to “surface for the occasional white author.”
The feature, powered by OpenAI’s API, was intended to be playful and fun. However, some of the summaries took on an oddly combative tone, making inappropriate comments on users’ diversity and sexual orientation.
Fable apologized, disabled the feature, and removed other AI tools.
Critics argue the response was insufficient, highlighting broader issues of bias in generative AI and the need for better safeguards.
Ah, okay, so you don’t understand the concept of punching up/down. Also, if you’re roast includes primarily low-hanging fruit, it isn’t going to be well-received, either.
It’s a lighthearted joke about someone’s reading habits. It’s a pretty funny to get a roast and be upset that it’s about stuff you do. What else would it be lol
Yes, we’ve already established you don’t understand the concept of punching up/down. We don’t need to belabour the point.
I’m just having fun with the thing. It’s amusing
