"Apple has acknowledged an issue with the iPhone's voice-to-text feature where it briefly displays 'Trump' when the user says 'racist.'"

"This glitch has sparked discussions across social media platforms, with some users interpreting it as intentional bias. Apple is reportedly addressing the issue to ensure accurate dictation."

X reports.

Great gym! Is that in someone's basement?

"This glitch" doesn't happen by accident.

Goldenpause বলেছেন...

Funny how the “glitches” almost always wind up hurting Republicans.

mindnumbrobot বলেছেন...

Sure, it's a "glitch."

Aggie বলেছেন...

Quick, somebody say 'Ku Klux Klan' and see if it comes up: 'Democrats'. 'Glitch'. Funny - Totally random.

JaimeRoberto বলেছেন...

That's not a glitch. That's intentional.

How very DEI of the anthropogenic intelligence (AI) who coded the software.

Computers do what programmers tell them to do.

Would be a shame if the Feds ended contracts with Apple. Tim Cook’s cries can be heard all over the HQ I bet.

RideSpaceMountain বলেছেন...

Shit like this is why so many on the right have plunged head-first into the AI alignment debate. If you don't think the gender-confused-septum-pierced programmer who did this isn't working everyday to give LLMs a progressive bias you're still bathing in the Orphic Grotto.

"Hello."
"Is your refrigerator running?"
"Yes."
"Well you'd better go catch it!"

And people thought James Carville was getting boring.

These people have no imagination at all. Give them an insult and they will use it for the rest of their lives.

They may have trained their AI on real-world social media, where "Trump" and "racist" are said side by side all the time.

Human-based AI training = computers say stupid stuff.
Apple = employs many hard-left people who likely wanted this to happen.

If that were the case, then the word following Trump would be "racist" rather than the word "racist" briefly replacing Trump. Furthermore, if the AI is predicting the next word, then the next word would be most likely be a verb.

RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...

Does it display "asshole" every time Biden or Obama is mentioned?

William বলেছেন...

NOTHING to see here, folks; move along. Grrr!

Enigma বলেছেন...

@JaimeRoberto: "If that were the case,"

Where did I disagree? See the part where I said Apple employs people who likely wanted this to happen.

Rabel বলেছেন...

How could this happen would be a good question for Grok.

Kevin বলেছেন...

Apple OS needs to submit 5 bullet points describing what it did last week.

Eva Marie বলেছেন...

This is why we can’t have nice things. Why can’t the Democrats engage on a serious level and discuss real issues instead of constant name calling.

Remember when subliminal messages were just pictures of dicks in glasses of whiskey that were indistinguishable from ice cubes?
It was a more subtle, more civilized time...well, except for the pictures of wide open beavers in the same magazines.

Cacimbo বলেছেন...

I just tested this.Sometimes it would flash "Trump" before typing racist, sometimes it just would just type racist, a few times it flashed "you" before switching to racist.I kept switching the person I was texting and switched up my voice with my teen.Inconsistent, but not fixed. Clearly done deliberately.

NKP বলেছেন...

This is NOT mischief or error by some smart-ass low level person. Apple has some serious contracts with the Feds and since Trump took over, Tim Cook has been going out of his way to make nice.

HOWEVER, do not discount the culture in that organization and the fact that the Jobs widow is an extreme Trump-hater.

I recently accepted a free 3 months subscription to Apple News (since banned from my phone). You will NEVER see a positive news item about the Trump Administration and almost NO neutral ones. The fact that they call this news aggregator site "News" is a very bad joke.

Check it out. But only once!

Obama's presidential portrait is covered in subliminal sperms. Considering that Obama is queer and the gay man who painted it has multiple sexual assault charges against him, this figures. People are still looking for the dicks in Michelle Obama's portrait. Bupkis so far...

Leland বলেছেন...

Not a big deal. The only people that use the term "racist" are lefties, who also think anyone to the right of Stalin and Mao are racist (because Stalin and Mao killed their own people by the millions).

Big Mike বলেছেন...

with some users interpreting it as intentional bias

Interpreted that way because it is hat way. You cannot convince me this got past beta testing unnoticed.

rhhardin বলেছেন...

There was a scandal long ago when movie theaters would flash some snack food name on the screen for a fraction of a second - popcorn, coke, etc. - to subliminally drive up refreshment sales.

tcrosse বলেছেন...

"Racist" has long since lost any meaning it might have had. Now it's just an all-purpose slur which is short for "I don't like you". My stock answer to being called a racist is "So what? Isn't everybody?"

Interested Bystander বলেছেন...

Geez. These morons are becoming boring children.

Skeptical Voter বলেছেন...

Well this childish prank would be fair play if when you said "nit wit" the phone replied "Adam Schiff".

RideSpaceMountain বলেছেন...

It is my firm belief that a large cohort of Americans never mature past high school. Data from the American Psychiatric Association seems to back this up when you look at nationwide prescription rates. The person at Apple that did this probably has a 120 IQ, is in their 40s, and has the emotional intelligence of a high school sophomore.

The mistake everyone's been making is "not taking it to their level". "Their level" is all they understand, and it's easier for someone civilized to be a barbarian than a barbarian to be civilized. That's why Trump drove them insane. They make juvenile little insults and throw playground sand, throw it right back at them.

It drives them insane. It works.

Mason G বলেছেন...

"It drives them insane."

"Drives"? For most of them, it's not even a short walk.

The ratchet only turns Left.

Bet AI can find them.

Jupiter বলেছেন...

Pondering the matter further, it would certainly be possible -- trivially easy, for a programmer -- to make it display "Trump", and then switch to "racist", so quickly that you would not be consciously aware of the first image. Indeed, that is what "subliminal" means. So, I dunno. If this is intentional, the plan is a bit murky.

Butkus51 বলেছেন...

Ge,, I wonder who sets variables, constants, attributes and parameters on AI.

Bunkypotatohead বলেছেন...

Trump should have that video playing right next to his mugshot in the oval office.
