This paper has not held up, like, at all. The first half of it recites Woke 1.0 principles, like a concern that LMs will thwart efforts to "decolonialize education by shifting to oral histories" in order to avoid the biases of "text". The second half of it makes predictions from axioms about LMs not truly understanding text that nobody would take seriously today.

There's philosophical grappling to be done, as with the Ted Chiang post on the front page right now, about what it is LLMs are actually doing (I'm mostly with Chiang on those core philosophical issues). But Gebru went way past that, attacking their underlying utility. The coherency of GPT 5.5 responses are not simply tricks of the mind, and frontier models (leaving aside Grok, if you want to call it a frontier model) have not in fact been engines for bias.
