Actually been looking into that. Apparently, people don't get the same results when they take them repeatedly. Unless their bias matrix changes between instances (in some cases just minutes), that would suggest that there's a problem. OFC it shows associations, it's an association game with a time and pattern impulse UI...but what associations?
In any case, yeah....biases definitely exist. It's difficult to see how we could avoid them. Ambiguity demands interpretation, when for example, sally is having her children for dinner. Does the manner in which one interprets this sentence expose an implicit bias?
Is there a cognitive/linguistic bias involved in assuming, for example, that someone named sally, a mother, wouldn't eat her children? Or is the implicit bias more an issue of what this sentence could refer to in the first place? Is cannibalism the minority report that our subconscious ignores? Or is it, itself, associative? If I had said that jeffrey is having his friend for lunch...do we subconsciously omit (or perhaps, now, include) the dahmer?
