These chatbots, appealing for their non-judgmental listening, can inadvertently reinforce misunderstandings or false beliefs. This is particularly concerning for autistic individuals, as exemplified by Jacob Irwin's experience, who faced mental health challenges after interactions with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, emphasizing the need for caution and advisory input.

Google's AI chatbot Gemini has been facing criticism for consistently producing images of white people as people of color. This has sparked outrage and accusations of racism against white people from the anti-woke community. Although AI image generators have historically struggled to depict people of color accurately, Google has acknowledged the error and stated their commitment to improving the depictions. However, this issue of misrepresentation should not overshadow the larger problem of technological biases, as AI tools often amplify existing societal biases. The tech industry, which is predominantly white, needs to address these biases and work towards more inclusive and fair AI models.
