Haha. TDS is invading iOS. This has to be the first virus. But I think it’s fake news. It’s like when I say poophead and it change to Joe Biden. It was no news then.

Apple Fixing 'Trump' Dictation Processing Bug

Agreed. It is NOT a bug at all. It's the TRUTH.
Apple's just telling it like it is. Remember when conservatives used to want that instead of getting their feelings hurt?
Or someone who just bought a bag of groceries today.
Any idea that it was intentional by Apple or Apple employees would have risked the $500B investment by Cook.
There is zero chance this is a bug.
Apple had to make something up now or make something up later. The end result would have been the same. Why not do it now?
It's most likely rogue employee(s), likely following the "resistance" calls by the opposition.
I would hope that Apple finds out and explains who did it and that they were fired.
I guess. If you live in world of constant butt hurt then yes.
What exactly is this protesting?
Huge! Huge! Bigger than anyone has ever seen in the world. It’s really going to be tremendous. Everyone is saying so.
I mean, imagine telling the right wing of America 10 years ago that they would salut someone partnering with Putin. And now just take it without any lubrication. It’s the literal definition of anything is possible.
Imagine telling the left wing that Russia was our enemy after Obama insisted they weren't.
There is no "phonetic overlap."
Seems like a programmer needs to be fired.
Seems like a programmer needs to be fired.
Why? No evidence of any of that. Just whiny accusations made to distract from DOGE.
While I could see the sheer volume of people calling Trump racist causing the AI to think they were synonyms, they still don't sound similar. This causes the "bad actor making a career limiting move" scenario to seem more likely. There is no call for those kinds of actions. The other guy won the election. It won't be the last time.
Trump has not been found guilty in a court of law for being a racist or rapist.
On the bright side, Apple can afford to pay to settle.
Finally, AutoCorrect is accurate on something
He has actually, on racism, with a consent decree (in addition to a justice dept settlement)
On the rape charge the only reason he hasnt is because NY has a distinction between rape and sexual assault most states dont. The civil suit he lost would have labeled him a rapist in most of the US.
And of course he’s been found guilty of felony fraud

Business go bankrupt, and I suspect MANY will do so in the next four years courtesy of the recession this unhinged joke of a president will cause.
I don't care about the political optics; this is genuinely hilarious.
Siri becoming sentient?
Multiple iPhone owners today noticed a pronunciation processing issue that causes the word "Trump" to momentarily show up when using dictation to send a message with the word "racist."
In some cases, when speaking the word racist through the iPhone's built-in dictation feature, the iPhone briefly interprets the spoken word as "Trump" and "Trump" text shows up in the Messages app before being corrected to the actual word (racist) as Apple's processing interprets what was said.
Speaking the word racist with dictation doesn't always show "Trump" first, though it did show up more often than other words in our testing. We also saw "Rhett" and "Rouch" appear before the iPhone corrects to racist.
A video depicting the bug has been circulating on TikTok and other social networks. An Apple spokesperson told The New York Times that the issue was due to a phonetic overlap between the two words. It is not clear if this dictation issue existed prior to today and was just now noticed, or if there was some internal change that caused it. Apple said that it is working on a fix.
Former Apple Siri team member John Burkey told The New York Times that there is "probably" code in Apple's systems that is causing the iPhone to write Trump when someone speaks the word racist. "This smells like a serious prank," he said, though he also claimed that it is not clear if it was added into Apple's code or seeded into data that Apple uses for its AI features.

Nah, my butt's nice and peaceful at the moment! (Who's to say how it goes tonight YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN). My country's in a state of unfurling fascism though, so I'm glad to see someone take a lil' stand.
