      There are only so many historical synonyms for black people, racist language should be searchable with few false negatives

      false negatives

      I don’t get your logic here either. A false negative would have zero implications for anyone. It would have no legal standing or relevance.

        I don’t understand, in what way does allowing a racist deed covenant stand unchallenged have zero implications or relevance?

        If it did, then what would be the point of rooting them out in the first place?

        A false negative would, as I’m understanding the goal here, be a case where the AI missed an existing problem.

        It wouldn’t change the current state so it wouldn’t actively hurt anything though, and of course it’s plenty likely a human checker would have overlooked those misses and more.
