Google officials expressed regret over the fact a google photo app tagged black people as gorillas. "We made the software too smart, we will dumb it down to pc standards right away"

The article doesn't say that. That's Stonehenge's racist spin on it.

You see how enlil is? Starts right out calling me names, a personal attack. Then if I respond in kind, he whines about how I've been harassing him for years, yada yada.
It is funny how that app worked out. I wonder if they will try to tie this to the confederate flag?

-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

It was a little joke edit, no need for personal attacks or epithets. I did not attack enlil.
So... was the software right or not? Discuss unintelligently.

He said your spin on it was racist, not that you're racist. And your spin was racist as you implied black people were gorillas and the app was correctly recognizing that.

It ID'd Bob Weir as a dog.

I mean.... If you had no idea what a human was, but had seen gorillas, and then you saw a someone of African descent with very dark skin.... You might equate some things. That's just a perspective thing.

Certainly. I'm not saying the app was racist. It was just an embarrassing bug for Google.

That is your left wing spin, your racist spin on things.

Not even remotely close to the same thing.

Really? Then please tell me what your intended meaning was when you said the app was "too smart" when it recognized black people as gorillas and Google will "dumb it down to pc standards"?

Who, me? I find this whole thing hilarious. Google couldn't have made a funnier mistake with this app if they tried.

Calling us pussies is disparaging to women you sexist bastard.
