Description
The following code fails in python 3.11+
```python
tokenized_datasets = datasets.map(tokenize_function, batched=True, num_proc=4, remove_columns=["text"])
```
Error log:
```bash

After upgrading dill to the latest 0.4.0 with "pip install --upgrade dill", it can pass. So it seems that there is a compatibility issue between dill 0.3.4 and python 3.11+, because python 3.10 works fine.
Is the dill deterministic issue mentioned in https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/main/setup.py#L117) still valid? Any plan to unpin?
