Hermansson logged in to Google and began looking up results for the IQs of different nations. When he typed in “Pakistan IQ,” rather than getting a typical list of links, Hermansson was presented with Google’s AI-powered Overviews tool, which, confusingly to him, was on by default. It gave him a definitive answer of 80.
When he typed in “Sierra Leone IQ,” Google’s AI tool was even more specific: 45.07. The result for “Kenya IQ” was equally exact: 75.2.
Hmm, these numbers seem very low. I wonder how these scores were determined.
It’s a reference to the fact that the kind of person who would try and justify this sort of race science is also the kind of person who is “just asking questions.” Combined with the tech industry’s tepid “it’s just a tool, it’s not inherently evil” bullshit, I think OPs point is obvious to anyone who isn’t a pedant, deliberately acting in bad faith.
