Facebook recently apologized after an A.I. program mistakenly labeled a video featuring Black men as "about Primates."
The video, posted by The Daily Mail on June 27, 2020, shows clips of Black men and police officers. An automatic prompt asked users if they would like to "keep seeing videos about Primates," despite the video clearly featuring no connection or content related to primates.

Should no be a problem with this…humans are also primates. Then again, everything is a problem with the nitwits on the left.

I rather like one of the other definitions: ''n. A bishop of highest rank in a province or country.''

In addition to being primates, all humans and other vertebrates are also chordates. Is that a bad word, too?

So they are not primates, meaning they must be some lower form of animal life.

AI my ass. Comuters are limited to what you tell them to do. It's called 'programming'.

FTA...'the solution was to block the words "gorilla," "chimp," "chimpanzee" and "monkey" from searches.'
Unless used to label a Republican, such as...bushiechimphitler.

Some of my liberal utopian friends seriously suggest that all government decisions be turned over to a master AI program, in effect creating an artificial God.
This should show why that's a bad idea, but I doubt they'll be swayed.

Poster 14: Your liberal utopian friends reveal their ignorance. Any AI still has to be programmed and occasionally given maintenance. The people who design the Program or update the hardware control the AI. Years ago, when Robert Heinlein wrote fiction, instead of trash, he wrote a book where two school kids decided to build a computer to do their homework for them. They eventually succeeded, and realized, at the end, that to design the damn thing, they had to do - AND KNOW - all the work they wanted done anyway.
Those Utopian idiots are somewhere near the beginning of that book, character-wise.
They simply don't want a 'god' out of their control who might actually condemn any of their actions.

Good God how stupid are these people look up the definition of the word first before you go apologizing to anyone. The fact that some uneducated dunce complains because he or she or it or whatever is too ignorant to know the meaning of the word primate should not be your problem. Send them a dictionary and tell them to read a bit before they start clutching their pearls. When is enough stupidity enough?

Humans outsmarted by artificial intelligence, how funny is that? Somewhere in a Fakebook backroom, a server is laughing it's microchips off.

I'm currently reading a new (2020) book "A Brief History Of Artificial Intelligence". Non-technical and highly recommended. It discusses the difficulties AI has in analyzing photos and scenes.
e.g. the slightest change in ambient lighting can determine if AI will decide whether an animal is a panda or is a gibbon.
Currently I'm reading the chapter on self-driving car problems. And Tesla's woes with the Autopilot.

Um, black men are primates. As are black women and every other human being on the planet no matter what their color. Did no one on the left ever learn basic biology? If you have thumbs, you’re a primate.
