Partner is rarely a good fit for boyfriend/girlfriend. I don't know Danish, but I wouldn't be surprised if the original term conveys a more intimate relationship than "partner". We use "partner" to denote everything from a business associate to a cowboy mate. Not exactly very specific.

@lottev
True.

My annoyance comes from the fact that whenever one of these AIs comes up to a conclusion someone doesn't like, they immediately scream "bias!". But when you realize that these AI's data sets are usually larger than what we ourselves could process, it becomes obvious that whatever conclusion the AI comes across is a real phenomenon that is occurring IRL.

I'm happy to talk about the phenomenons themselves, and if human discrimination could have caused them. Like if it's sexist that most people assume women do the cooking, or what causes the difference in shape of IQ bell curves between the sexes.

But calling an AI biased for just showing you the complicated nature of humans, just the way we are, is stupid. And a lot of the usual attempts at correcting the AI "bias" are just crude ways of shoving the dirt under the rug, and pretending the AI results don't mirror real life.

@alyx funnily enough, while it’s true that men more commonly have higher iq’s, they also more commonly have lower iq’s. women are most commonly around the average

@alyx all that aside though i do agree with you, i think many differences between the sexes are biologically determined, you also see it with animals. it all has a purpose

not that deviation is bad, i don’t care about it, but they’re not “norms” that “society” made up

@lottev
Yup. IIRC, I think the bell curve for men IQ is actually skewed more in the lower end than in the upper. But I didn't feel like adding all that in the initial post. It already felt too long.

@alyx yeah i gotcha
