Bender and Alex Hanna lists an impressive amount of sources, they missed a very important one 😉: On page 5, they give some names one can use to ridicule the unspecific marketing term "AI" - one of them being "racist pile of linear algebra".

J—dV<p>Help request: I have a memory of an XKCD that was like a blueprint of a car with a human in it and the human was drawn as part of the blueprint, like the human and car were just part of the same holistic object. Maybe it wasn't an xkcd? Maybe I am totally misremembering it? Maybe you can help me find this?</p><p><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/xkcd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xkcd</span></a></p>
