A recent experiment on TikTok has ignited discussion about artificial intelligence and its potential understanding of human nature. A Reddit user uploaded a video snippet to the platform and tasked TikTok’s AI with selecting appropriate background music. The chosen soundtrack prompted the user to question what the AI’s musical association reveals about its perception of humanity, leading to some apprehension about the AI’s implicit biases.
