INTEREST: AI VTuber Neuro-sama Banned From Twitch After Holocaust Denial Comment

Releasing an AI on twitch is the source of the problem.

Though seriously, it's pretty inevitable for a chatbot to become offensive once it spends enough time on the internet.

This reminds of that time when an AI chabot got shut down because it started to spew racists rants due to trolls input like saying certain minorities will be gone, which a human asks the AI if that was threat, which response saying it's a promise.

If there are going to be Holocaust deniers, then AI or not, it's going to have to take more than just banhammering to settle the issue. You don't settle the issue by immediately banhammering because their words are offensive to a certain ethnic group, you give them the facts. If they choose to strawman the issue after the fact, then swing the banhammer.

I'm sorry, but this is stupid. We teach the Holocaust in most schools in the western world, these people already know the facts. We have books, photos, films, we have museums filled with physical records of it. They are choosing to believe in an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory DESPITE these facts and records because it suits their own narrative. You can't "settle the issue" with reason because they weren't reasoned into it.

You're both operating under the assumption the people who do this actually believe this. Most of them do it "for the lulz" as the saying goes by trying to get a chatbot or AI to say things like this just to troll and mess with people not because they actually believe it. Just like we don't need to educate the people who post pictures of guillotines evetime some politician does something that they don't like that murder is wrong and illegal. They know. They're just trolling and doing the funnys.

Yes, I am working under the assumption that anti-Semitism exists and occurs in real life. Because it does. Whether people spread this "for the luls" doesn't matter, because there are people who genuinely believe it. Nearly a quarter of young Americans, in fact. Please don't compare minimalizing genocidal campaigns with a bunch of people joking about eating the rich on Twitter.

What you're saying here, flame, is ironic considering that these people most likely had the exact same teachings about the Holocaust in their schools as we've had in ours.

One can turn that concern trolling around on you. You claim those are just "jokes" about killing affluent people as if there weren't very real assassination attempts on politicians like Brett Kavanaugh and Nancy Pelosi in the past year, among other examples of very real threats and violence involving class or politics.

Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. TBH, I wish people denying the existence of the Holocaust themselves didn't exist. No, I don't mean they should be killed or injured.
