~~what sources??~~
Edit: nevermind worked it out
Yeah AI companies are being stupid using Reddit, Twitter and StackExchange, but there's no magic fix to get more diverse AI. Would they need to pay people of underrepresented groups to write training material? Is that racist? Why should they get paid when everyone else is doing it for free?
I don't think they were being intentionally racist when they made the dictionaries for auto-correct - the article says it only accounts for around 41% of English names - but most modern auto-correct things on phones at least seem to add words to your dictionary if you use them a lot, and they've probably been limited by file size requirements in the past.
