Several users said today when they used the dictation function of their iPhone and tried to use the word “racist”, which the word “trump” has momentarily appeared in its place.
In some cases, when the use speaks the word “racist” when using the integrated dictation function of the iPhone, the device temporarily interprets the word as “Trump”. The word makes a quick appearance before being self -cormented at the correct work, as the treatment on Apple’s devices correctly interprets what has been said.
It is not because you say that “racist” does not guarantee that you will see “Trump” appear. Some publications say they have seen other words appear. Macrumors said they also saw “Rhett” and “Rouch” appear before the iPhone corrects racist words.
An Apple spokesman said The New York Times that the problem was due to a “phonetic overlap” between the two words. At this stage, we do not know with certainty if this problem existed before today and was now noticed, or if there has been an internal change that caused it. Apple said he is preparing for a solution.
The former member of the Apple Siri team, John Burkey, who should be informed of things like this, said The New York Times That there is a code “probably” in Apple systems that makes Trump the iphone when someone speaks the racist word. “It smells like a serious farce,” he said, although he is not sure who pulled the farce.
The problem seemed to begin after an update of Apple servers, said John Burkey, the founder of Wonderrush.ai, an artificial intelligence start-up, and a former member of the Siri team from Apple who is Always in regular contact with the team.
But he said it was unlikely that the data that Apple has collected for his artificial intelligence offers caused the problem, and the word correcting itself was an indication that the problem was not only technical. Instead, he said, there was probably software code somewhere on Apple’s systems that led iphones to write the word “Trump” when someone said “racist”.
“It feels a serious farce,” said Burkey. “The only question is: Did anyone slip this into the data or slip into the code?”
