Kamala Harris Tries to Explain AI and Algorithms

Artificial intelligence, social media, and algorithms popped up in a conversation between former Vice President Kamala Harris and BigBoyTV host Kurt Alexander.

Harris tried to explain algorithms and, well, yeah:

HARRIS: They’re trying to dumb people down, with the assumption that people don’t have any interest beyond what they’ve already seen. Think about that.

ALEXANDER: Oh, yeah, the algorithm.

HARRIS: Right, but the algorithm suggesting I have no more interest because I’m looking at this yellow flower. I’m only interested in yellow flowers.

ALEXANDER: Right, so here’s more yellow flowers.

HARRIS: As though my brain can’t handle the fact that there may be a pink flower that I might be interested in looking at, right. And so part of it is understanding how the algorithm is manipulating us and figuring out how we’re gonna psych it out a bit.

I found the whole interview because I always double-check video clips, since people tend to leave out context.

Nope. Nothing left out in the clip posted on X.

People with critical thinking skills can figure out what Harris is trying to say. I get it. Algorithms try to manipulate us; they try to lead us away from what we are interested in.

But if you cannot coherently explain your thoughts with your voice….don’t speak.
