Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app … they’re not the only ones

tbh, up to 80 years ago Europeans were in constant war as well and nobody else drew their borders
EU had to be created to finally stop French and Germans from killing each other

I used to think the same, but came to think small talk is kind of useful. Even though I’m not good at it.

• Hey fellow human, I acknowledge your existence and wish to interact with you
• Thank you fellow human, I also can’t dedicate mental and emotional capacity for a deeper conversation but still wish to interact with you…

I understand these questions as conversation openers rather than actual questions.
Having one “favorite” anything let alone something as vague as a color, is impossible. And the person asking doesn’t really want a specific answer, they just don’t know what to say so they also follow a scripted questions they’ve heard before.

So I will respond with something like “I listen mostly to Genre A and Genre B. I’ve been to the concert of Band Z recently. What’s the latest concert you’ve been to?”
Or “I try to wear bright colors in the winter, to try and compensate for the gray days and cold nights”

Something related to the opening question but doesn’t have to be a singular answer. More like your general opinion on colors followed by a question so the other person has something to latch onto for their turn in conversation.

Actually Google made a huge success by training an AI to ignore personal characteristics like skin color or gender when generating images. It uses a “generic human average”, and that’s awesome!
Normally models like these replicate categorization by (racial/gender) categories of the society it created them.

Gemini completely misses categorization by these features. Of course it also loses the contemporary context, because the concepts of race & gender still impacts most of humanity.

But for what it is it’s a huge success.
