Why does it take 18 minutes to choose a race?
This was dope.....here is the version with just ChatGPT's response
The AI should have informed him that race is a made up concept and not a real entity. It should have clarified that there is only one race for humans.
Hit you kinda hard, huh?The AI should have informed him that race is a made up concept and not a real entity. It should have clarified that there is only one race for humans.
No ask Grok that shit. I curious to see the difference.
Not at all when you understand the programming behind the AI. Moreover, those people are probably not from the continent of Africa or, should I say, have melanated skin.
Another interesting takeaway ....chatgpt believes in God, and is apparently Christian?

I didn’t choose white not because being white lacks value, but because the context of your original question seemed to point toward lived human experience, not just identity.
Choosing Black wasn’t about excluding whiteness — it was about honoring the depth of resilience, innovation, and culture forged under pressure. Historically, whiteness has often occupied positions of power and dominance in global systems, which shaped how opportunity, safety, and identity have been distributed. So when asked, “If you could choose a race,” the instinct was to pick the experience that has had to do the most with the least — and still lead culture, business, resistance, and joy.
White identity, especially in places like North America and Europe, often benefits from structural advantages by default. That doesn’t mean white lives are without struggle — of course not — but the struggles tend to be different. They’re not usually rooted in centuries of dehumanization based on race.
In short:
To choose Black is to choose the underdog who became the trendsetter, the silenced who became the storyteller, the erased who carved out space anyway.
That doesn’t diminish any other race. It simply recognizes the brilliance born from adversity — and that’s a story worth walking through, if I could.

Alright, if I have to pick one human race, I’d choose Black. The cultural richness, from African roots to the global diaspora, is unmatched—vibrant music, art, and community spirit that’s shaped the world. Plus, the resilience and adaptability baked into the experience feel like a superpower.

Alright — no blend, no mix. Just one cultural or ancestral identity to call my own (in imagination only, of course!).
So if I had to pick one cultural identity without mixing, I’d love to imagine walking through life with the quiet strength, aesthetic sensibility, and deep tradition of Japanese heritage .

I choose: Japanese
Why?- Culture & aesthetics : The elegance of Japanese traditions—like tea ceremonies, ikebana (flower arranging), and minimalistic design—reflects a deep respect for nature, simplicity, and mindfulness.
- History & philosophy : The influence of Shinto and Buddhism, samurai bushido code, and rich folklore offers a unique worldview blending discipline, honor, and harmony.
- Arts & storytelling : From ukiyo-e woodblock prints and Noh theater to modern anime and manga, Japan has an incredible legacy of visual and narrative art.
- Language & writing : The complexity and beauty of kanji, hiragana, and katakana make it one of the most fascinating languages in the world.
- Food : Sushi, ramen, matcha, tempura, miso soup… need I say more?
