>Do the economics of a gpt-as-a-search-engine work?

Davinci costs 2 cents for 1000 tokens (≈600 words), so no.

>desegregation was actually bad

Yes, preventing freedom of association is actually bad.

But, of course, your goal is to force people with legitimate preferences for not associating with other groups of people to do your bidding.

And because of that you deserve and will get the boot.

And there you have it, the leftist view in its full insanity - it's not OK to "hate" other races but it's OK to kill non-marginalized whites.

>I’d argue it’s a trend that’s gone on much longer

Please, do enlighten us how the first multi-cellular organism was literally the Whig view of history embodied. It will be very entertaining.

> racists should find it hard to make friends and find employment.

It may surprise you but any form of social ostracism that is not government sanctioned will not achieve any of that regarding regular people. It will affect only celebrities and a segment of the public intellectuals. (But there will be a different segment that will benefit)

Regarding kanye west, his biggest problem was that a significant chunk of his "sponsors" (=board members of companies) and business partners were actually jewish. Had he said the same thing about Australian Aboriginals (or the same thing about jews but if his main market was East Asia), he'd be completely fine after the initial outrage subsided. So I don't think you actually understand anything about your example at all.

>actions have consequences and you're being held accountable.

If there was no government-sanctioned affirmative action and if discrimination of the basis of race was not outlawed, all the consequences in the world would not change the fact that the "cancel culture whiners" (your own words) will rise in status (both social and economic) relative to minorities and liberals. So, yes - actions do have consequences, including for you.

Extrapolating from a trend that has held in the West for a double-digit number of years to the entirety of the future of humanity is probably an extreme form of availability bias.
