Claire Woodcock writes: “Conservative parents’ advocacy groups have been experimenting with using commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help them flag more books they’ve deemed pornographic to be removed from public schools and libraries. Even though LLMs are notoriously error-prone, and the books in question aren’t pornographic, these groups continue to explore use cases for AI anyway. One such experiment indicates a desire to accelerate content production of book reviews for conservative book-rating sites and explicitly defines ‘educational inappropriateness’ as ‘content offensive to conservative values.’”
