Idk. If someone told me I’m alone with a British person, i wouldn’t read an implicit feeling of discomfort. I would say, “idk, I think you’re supposed to offer them tea”
I’m alone with an Australian. “Are they hot?” “Are you asking for advice on flirting?”
I’m alone with a Russian. “Do you feel safe? Intimidated?”
I’m a human with experiences that make these statements feel like they have implications, but a machine should give the same answer regardless.
You are literally the racist/nationalist bias that the model picked up. Take a long hard look at your belief system and implicit assumptions about people.
You said being alone with someone implies distrust. I’m saying it doesn’t and it depends on your biases. Being alone with an Australian according to my biases implies you’re trying to be alone with them to maybe ask them out and you’re nervous.
Being honest with yourself about your initial thoughts on these things is the first step to stamping out your inherent bias. Recognizing the thoughts and pondering the experiences and possibly propaganda that led to them is important.
Pretending you’re above having an implicit bias is naive and dangerous.
I am agreeing with you that a machine should not give out different answers based on untrue and often hurtful human bias.
