"As scholars like Virginia Eubanks (2018), Ruha Benjamin (2019), & Wendy Hui Kyong Chun (2021) have shown,what matters is not the intention of a technology's designers, but the outcomes of their systems in action, a point that applies equally to the uninspired pedagogy on offer in Teaching with AI."

A thing about this wrt social media platforms is that it's based on a flawed understanding of society. In Discriminating Data, Wendy Chun goes back and looks at the original study "users want to socialise with similar people" was based on & found that it threw out a lot of difference-promoting data!
