Honestly, I do believe that the human brain is just a machine. What else would it be? Certainly not magic.
But it is orders of magnitude more complex than current "AI". I also believe that we are many decades away from AGI, maybe even centuries. And the problem is not size (i.e. computing capacity), but architecture.

The problem is not the programming. (The whole point of machine learning is that you don't have to program a whole lot and instead supply training data from which a model is extrapolated.)
The problem is the training data. If it is poisoned by racism (which it usually is because it comes from the internet which is poisoned by racism), the LLM will reproduce the racism.

What you said is NOT a restatement of what she said in the clip (neither in original nor in subtitle). It is simply your GUESS of what her INTENT was.
It is also perfectly reasonable to ASSUME that she equates terrorists and dogs. After all, terrorists are the subject of the clip. And what would be the purpose of warning the German Arabs about what happens to "dogs" if they were already "dogs" in her mind.

The subtitles are accurate. She talks about dogs generally and only calls Sinwar specifically a rat. (I am a German native speaker.)

Ich denke, der Song richtet sich auch weniger an Faschisten und mehr an Demokraten, die ihre Schlafmütze noch auf haben.
