Did they respond differently depending on what race they thought you were? I'm surprised they would even do that honestly. I thought they were trained on text conversations which presumably wouldn't have any of that to learn from.

You can often tell where someone is from from text alone! There are plenty of idiosyncrasies even in how different English speaking countries use the language.

Like, what do you mean? Are there, like, particular mannerisms that people from some regions that are hella unique to those regions?

Pre-nerf the 4o voice model had a wide range of expressivity, and it would match affect (still tries to do this) and idiolect of listeners if asked. Nowadays there's a list of accents that are considered "hate-ish" and a list that aren't.

I will elide the rant inside me that west coast 20 somethings get to decide if speaking in a certain accent is racist or "bad". But it's a heartfelt rant.

There are subtle differences in language where two groups can be speaking English and one is having a completely different conversation without saying much.

If it did, it responded based on the accent it picked up on not race, because race and accent are orthogonal, correlation does not imply causation.

[dotancohen]

Are denying that race and accent are highly correlated?
