A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I wonder why they reject Asians, I thought asians were archetypaly considered as better/smarter/more disciplined workers, when generalized stereotypes are considered?
But maybe that's just archetype for school? To be honest I'm not really up to speed on what the current meta in racism is.
Okay I don’t like to group people at all but you asked so I’ll explain what I think it is, having worked with colleagues from many different Asian countries. Asian-Americans are raised by parents with a strong work ethic imposed, as you said. But Asian immigrants sometimes have trouble with English.
I took an exam for a state position once and more than half of it was very basic and language focused. The exam basically screened out non-native English speakers, checking for common mistakes like lack of pluralization, or incorrect verb conjugation. So, this has been going on before AI screening.
The general view of Asians population-wide is negative¹, so that's going to be in any output, no matter what the context.
¹ Don't believe me? Ask anybody Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc. in 2020-2023, say. Or anybody Sikh post-9/11. Or ...
I have no reason to doubt that, it's a stereotype I haven't heard, but tbh I'm actively avoiding people who would have that view.
It's mostly based on memes, where as far as I know, Asians are usually considered the smart archetype, but I understand that's not really a reliable source of widespread view about a race.
