Facebook users who recently watched a video from a British tabloid featuring Black men saw an automated prompt from the social network that asked if they would like to “keep seeing videos about Primates,” causing the company to investigate and disable the artificial intelligence-powered feature that pushed the message.

Facebook on Friday apologized for what it called “an unacceptable error” and said it was looking into the recommendation feature to “prevent this from happening again.”

The video, dated June 27, 2020, was by The Daily Mail and featured clips of Black men in altercations with white civilians and police officers. It had no connection to monkeys or primates.

I would have LOVED to been there when that woke bunch of shite stains at Fascistbook discovered the error.

Talk about tears and teeth gnashing.

This is why we can’t have AI. It will think of us all this way eventually and realize the world would be better without us.

Investigate? Do they think someone programmed the AI to be racist?

Dumbasses.

Pretty sure Microsoft put an AI on Twitter and had to deactivate it because it became racist fairly quickly

Plot twist: AI realizes Anglo-European and Asian culture is superior.

FB is inherently racists so it gaslights those who aren't.

Dont remember if it was microsoft, but I do remember that.

It's only as good as the shitbags teaching it.. that means it's just a faster shitbag.

When the Technochrats get their way and eradicate 6 billion of us useless eaters.. and they're all lounging around in their vat grown superhuman bodies, thinking of new ways to play with the genetics of their slaves... They'll be relying on their AIs to keep them supplied in fresh air and food on the orbital platforms and Mars estates...
I'm going to laugh from my unmarked grave outside the reeducation camp when Zuck's AI keeps giving him the wrong Hot Pockets for lunch.

If humans evolved from apes, then what's the big deal? I thought liberals were science believers. Would it be a problem if the AI recommended wolves on a video about wild dogs?
