A prank is more likely than a biased dataset because Apple’s voice dictation relies on extensive, neutral language models trained on diverse data. If ‘Trump’ were consistently replaced with ‘racist,’ it would suggest intentional tampering rather than an accidental correlation in the dataset. Given Apple’s control over its AI systems, a prank —such as user-submitted corrections, or local manipulation — is a more plausible explanation than systemic bias in the training data.
It took OpenAI years to figure out how to properly fine-tune ChatGPT to their liking, and Apple wants to bake this same technology into an operating system. Prank or not, cracks are going to form when applied to something this complex.

Why is this unexpected? Apple has a long history of being associated with racism, sexism, violence, and hypocrisy. Consider their recent acquisition of Beats by Dre, a man that has been linked to domestic violence and drug trafficking. That's just one of many. The actions of the Apple engineers who facilitated this deal should be held accountable, and they should face termination. This behavior is unprofessional, and it is disheartening to see such strong negative reactions from many of you here.

no matter what vitriol you spit out he's still your president for the next four years whether you like it or not and I can't imagine the pain and suffering from TDS every single night. 🤣
 
That’s just accurate.
Kinda disrespectful to the millions of black, Hispanic/Latino, and everyone in between who voted for him. These people are real and they exist. Funny how some minorities think that anyone like them has to share their same beliefs and perspective. Hate it or not, it’s reality. The problems in this country are not your neighbors that vote different than you, it’s the people in power. On both sides. Everywhere in the government. Thankfully we are starting to trim the fat. I don’t care if this was a republican or democratic initiative. It’s about time it happened.
 
Good god get some new ammo. It’s really really really old. People are sick of it and the election proved it.

Called him names, tried to arrest, convict and assassinate…..it all didn’t work.

I'm not going to stop calling him exactly what he is because it makes you uncomfortable. Don't bother responding either you're not worth my time.
 
I don't think it's a bug

It’s a feature.

That’s just accurate.

Looks like Apple Intelligence may have some brains after all. Rapist should produce the same if true.

I mean they are synonyms.

Used to be called an Easter Egg. All software has them.

Clever girl

Well…are we sure that’s a bug? Sounds about right to me.

Type “racist” and 4 words should appear “Trump, “Elon”, “Hitler”, 💩

Pretty sure that's just Apple Intelligence working as intended. But saying that there's a "phonetic overlap between the two words" makes no sense. Regardless, Trump isn't going to like this. Tim will have to console him probably

Wow, finally the iPhone is accurate on something!!

doesn‘t seem very flawed to me. There‘s even a long wikipedia-article about that.

And people say Siri isn’t getting smarter

Whichever developer snuck that code in, give them the Nobel Peace Prize

Imagine the court case with Trump trying to prove any lack of accuracy here.

I am sorry Apple that is not a bug. Calling Trump a racist, is just telling the truth.

Siri is useful for once.

Wow seems like a pretty big deal. Revolution getting ready to start. People are waking up and using what voices they can.

I mean, it's not wrong.

Next thing you know, Apple's fix will be to correct "Trump" to "felon" 🤣

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.

its correct. when I hear Trump, I hear racist. every time he talks.

That doesnt seem like something that needs fixing, it seems more like siri’s dictation got something right for once!

Agreed. It is NOT a bug at all. It's the TRUTH.

Finally, AutoCorrect is accurate on something

I don't care about the political optics; this is genuinely hilarious.

Siri becoming sentient?

Sooooo... a synonym?

Ah, so machine learning IS accurate. 🤣

The machine never lies.

And who says AI isn't smart. 🤣

AI knows the truth. #boycottElonMusk.

So it's working as intended then 😄

Apple intelligence... starting to look good to me.
Yep. Sounds about right.

And you know it's a con of historic proportions when people of diverse backgrounds vote for someone who actually doesn't give a **** about them beyond using them to get elected. Now he's in power to carve up and dismantle the country and give his billionaire cronies a massive tax cut while the rest of the population gets sweet **** all, rising inflation and can fight each other for scraps.

And tanking the U.S. is his gift to his idol and master Putin.

“And you know it's a con of historic proportions when people of diverse backgrounds vote for someone who actually doesn't give a **** about them beyond using them to get elected.”

Sounds exactly like the last four years. Wait… Actually sounds like politics in general. (No matter the side)

This too shall pass.

Peace and hair grease people. We will all survive.

Maybe its a con that the left constantly uses minorities as a crutch to get elected while doing nothing for them? That’s why those people started switching sides in large numbers….they figured…what do I have to lose?

Or maybe the bigger con was staging a coup to get Biden out of office and instill someone else even though no one voted for her to even be on the ticket….. how exactly is that democracy? Hold a primary, kick the guy out, put someone else in …. DEMOCRACY! 🤣

Also….we are in the middle of an inflation crisis that (checks Watch) started 3 years ago under the last administration.

The country is already being dismantled and that’s why the people rose up from all backgrounds to stop it!

Plus no one is buying the garbage the left is pushing including your so tactfully put talking points …..of blah blah blah. Repeating that same BS is why he got reelected.

Actual malice. See the Sullivan case.

you mean .. malice against the guy who was proud of himself for calling Hillary a crook and saying he would lock her up (but never did) or the other nicknames too numerous to count but include Low IQ War Hawk, Lyin' James Comey, Crazy Kamala .. look up CARROLL v. TRUMP. if you want a prosecuted case of malice. We wont know what really happened for a while, was this a false flag attack on Apple, a disgruntled employee, or a patriot? But what I will say is Karma is a b*tch.
 
I can't stand Trump, but whoever did this should be fired by Apple.

Agreed... people are defending poor donnie's feelings getting hurt, but Apple is likely to feel the full impact of this on their reputation they work to earn on privacy, security, and data integrity. However this happened, it doesn't reflect well on Apple.

Except that no police were killed on January 6th. One died of a heart attack later and four comitted suicide but don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.
It doesnt count as killing someone if they linger a day in the hospital after 2 strokes and cardiac arrest first?

And regardless, are you saying if no one died then storming the capital was just dandy? A totally reasonable tantrum to have when you lose?
