It's amusing to me that AI has become sophisticated enough that people have started being racist to it.

I agree with you to an extent, but you have certainly given me food for thought.

Sticking to LLMs, they seemingly get their intelligence (whatever that really means) from building models rich with knowledge, so you could have a point. But Qwen models seem to be particularly good, even at small model sizes, at maintaining both their own knowledge while acquiescing to and integrating external information in the moment.
