A strange mistake makes the iPhone automatically change the word “racist” to “Trump” when using the built -in dictation function in iOS. The problem that seemed to be Tiktok users grew using the function of the voice text in Apple applications, such as messages.
Speaking the word “racist”, iOS briefly transcribes the text as “Trump” before changing it to the alleged word. It is not clear what can cause such behavior. Engadget was able to repeat the problem as you can see in GIF below.
The apple said This was due to the “phonetic overlap between two words”, despite the fact that two words do not sound the same. It also does not explain why the “racist”, with the lowercase “R”, will be deciphered as “Trump” – it would seem, a link to our current president – not “Trump”, a noun. An expert on artificial art, who once worked on Siri, told the newspaper that it could be a “serious joke” by Apple employee.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request about the comments.
Whether it is a mistake or joke, he appeared in a particularly awkward time for the iPhone manufacturer, who announced on Monday that he plans to invest In production facilities for artificial intelligence servers. Investments, most of which were already planned, occurred after Apple General Director Tim Cook met with President Donald Trump in the White House last week.
