I don’t like this at all, but I doubt it can be stopped. I hope at the end of the day, when AI adoption is widespread, AI will have improved the internet and our lives rather than make them worse.

Yeah that is a likely outcome. I was just trying to stay positive and hope for the best. When I think about how bad things can get with the misuse of AI, it makes me kinda depressed.

I’ve always assumed private messages on any site can be read by the site’s admin unless they are end-to-end encrypted.

Yeah, if you don’t comb (not really brush as a brush wouldn’t detangle) afro-textured hair of that length, it will clump up like that. And afro-textured hair isn’t meant to be combed or brushed daily. The less it’s manipulated the healthier it is as frequent manipulation can cause breakage. That’s why you’ll see some people with afro-textured hair keep their hair in braids or twists or locs if they want to look more what is considered “presentable” while also protecting their hair from breakage. These are called protective styles. Braiding and twisting takes time though that Eric Andre probably doesn’t want to spend and locs are kinda permanent. If his hairstlye works best for his lifestyle, I think that’s good. It’s better for people to see the different ways afro-textured hair can exist in its natural state because I think such exposure without ridicule can lead to further acceptance.

Edit: Thank you for sharing those interview links!

You’re great for transcribing! To avoid the word unkempt, as that can be offensive, I would transcribe the hair as ‘clumpy afro-textured hair’.

so that he comes across as crazier

Are you sure this is the reason? Did he state his reason that way? Or is that your assumption that he wants to look crazier? In a post above @BarackObama said his reason was because brushing it takes too much time according to interviews. I haven’t seen it myself since there’s no timestamp, but I’ll check it out later.

so what’s the blind user of this program going to attach to the concept of unkempt hair?

The problem isn’t with blind users, but sighted users who could read that and associate afro-textured hair like that with being unkempt.

Edit: Found the timestamp in the Eric Andre interview with Larry King about his hair. Here he doesn’t say he wants to look crazier. He says that’s what his hair looks like when he doesn’t brush it. And as I mentioned in another comment, afro-textured hair isn’t meant to be either combed or brushed every day because that can cause breakage.

Edit 2: Corrected his Eric Adams to Eric Andre. Woops.

I see. It’s an understandable assumption to make. That’s his natural hair texture. You may see this video he talks about his hair. The thing about afro-textured hair is it can stand up and out on it’s own. No wind needed, lol (and I say this as a person with this kind of hair texture).

I see you edited the transcription, leaving out the hair description. That’s just fine too the way you have it now. Thank you. 🙂

clementineholic ,

I just spotted it and thought it was worth raising.

Thank you for raising it. Little by little we can remove conscious & unconscious biases against Black natural hair textures.

EDIT: Alternatively, go here, switch the “Software” option to Lemmy at the top, and look for a server geographically close to you.

Oh, great tip! Thanks! It’s interesting to see which servers are hosted in my state.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s hard to work when tired and I totally understand wanting to include the hair description if you thought it could be contextually relevant, and since you found out it’s not, taking it out is the right choice. I’m not at all experienced in transcription for the blind so when I made my suggestion of clumpy afro-textured hair, at first I thought the point of the transcription was to be as detailed as possible while also being brief, so I thought the hair description had to stay in in some form. But now I see only contextually relevant info is needed. Good to know. We’ve both learned something in this, yeah? Thanks again for the work you do and being open to suggestions. You’re awesome! 🙂
