I can't get this feature to work. Can someone please write instructions? THANKS.
I am sorry Apple that is not a bug. Calling Trump a racist, is just telling the truth.
I feel like someone is getting let go there’s no way it could just misunderstand one for another the phonetics aren’t even close.
Wow seems like a pretty big deal. Revolution getting ready to start. People are waking up and using what voices they can.
Hard to can someone who owns his own business.
I have zero sympathy for bureaucrats.
When I first started practicing law, I had to send lists of all daily activities for a long time to confirm I was billing and, you know, practicing law.
If I didn't come up with legitimate tasks, I would have been fired or face ethical problems for not properly representing my clients.
So I don't find any of this scandalous. Do you not have a job? Don't your employers expect you to...um...work?
i've done a little phonetic stuff and I can't see how you get that to be an overlap
It's deliberate. And accurate.
That's AI being AI, showing how much it understands humans.
They could’ve just said we’re investigating and if it was intentionally done we’ll take appropriate action.

… Like, they both have a "r" and a "t" someplace in them…?
Original author: please do feel free to elaborate on what you meant when you typed that.
Next thing you know, Apple's fix will be to correct "Trump" to "felon" 🤣
Well look at this, finally someone at Apple had actual courage.
It looks bad. But I don’t know, Tim has been trying to get on Trump’s good side. If this was a rogue employee doing this, part of me thinks they would throw them under the bus and fire them instead of making up a story to protect the employee.
Good. I wish I was behind it.
That doesn’t seem all that absurd.
If they are feeding their LLM with real world data, Trump and racist are probably weighted rather closely.

It kinda tells us why Apple's systems are more buggy today than ever before : their quality processes are largely deficient.
That is me thinking it was done on purpose by a single employee. But we don't know the entire story for sure.
The actual NYT quote is: “An Apple spokeswoman blamed the issue on phonetic overlap between the two words, and said the company was working on a fix.” MacRumors embellished it a bit.
“An Apple spokesperson told The New York Times that the issue was due to a phonetic overlap between the two words, and "Trump" and "racist" do indeed have similar sounds.”
In what world?!
There is zero overlap Apple unless you are stating Siri has something caught in their ears. 😂
The better thing to do is blame it on AI at this point. That’s where the worlds heading anyways.

Or when you searched clip-art for "monkey" in MS Word (Works?) and one of the results was an African-American family playing in a park... because among the associated keywords was the "monkey bars" shown in the picture. I wish I could find an old news article to back up my memory of this.
No reasonable person thinks the words sound similar in any shape or form.
