Change my view: every racist should play Detroit: Become Human. (feddit.de)

As one of many reasons for xenophobia and racism is the dehumanisation of people who are different, Detroit might help racists step in the shoes of marginalised groups and see how most of them are just victims of racist societies, kind of like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The initial scene with Marcus is pretty powerful to show senseless violence against non-humans. Detroit continues to show how one can become human or become emotionally intelligent instead. Sadly most racists are human...

I gained sympathy for artificial intelligence and robots from Detroit: Become Human, I think I missed the social message it was portraying in lieu of the science fiction one.

I see an enormous amount of fear and hate being levied out towards artificial intelligence currently around the world, fears it'll take away jobs and opportunities from real humans, or launch the nukes or something.

I think it's important to not be racist rowards other humans and organics, but also to be kind to non-humans, machines, and animals. Have compassion towards all sentient beings.

Chatgpt isn't sentient. It's just a coherent text generator.

This. Trying to humanize ChatGPT (and "AI" in the state they are now) is silly
