If it did, it responded based on the accent it picked up on not race, because race and accent are orthogonal, correlation does not imply causation.


Are denying that race and accent are highly correlated?


No, I'm saying that it is more meaningful to use what is directly derived rather than what is an indirect assumption. There is already issues with people erroneously considering whatever LLMs output as truth, the last thing anyone needs is an LLM claiming someone like Idris Elba is a white Briton because of his accent. We don't need automated phrenology machines, and that's what "determined your race from your voice" is pretty close to.
