Humansplaining: is it a thing? Is it bad?
In this note, we discuss the possibility of humansplaining, where humansplaining is, in analogy to mansplaining, a human's act of unnecessarily and unjustly explaining something to an AI agent who is an expert on that topic. We argue that, assuming a suitably developed AI which is capable of being explained to in the first place, humansplaining would be bad for similar reasons as mansplaining and that the risk one runs of engaging in it would vary depending on the explained topic and in particular on whether the natures of the explainer, the explainee, or both allow them to have expertise in that area.
