Google Photos, y'all *** up. My friend's not a gorilla

Google app not working as intended

I have to admit, I laughed.
According to Zunger they also had problems labeling other people as dogs and dogs as horses.

yawn, manufactured outrage over a woman who shares many facial characteristics with a gorilla

computers aren't racist and it's a complete joke to imply google intentionally made their detection that way

Recognition software is incredibly hard. Chalk this up to there being a similar image in it's database that has been tagged as gorillas.

Although, it is pretty unfortunate that it made this particular identification.

All I'm thinking is that if labeling people as animals is what it takes to finally eliminate duckface in selfies, I'm kinda in support of it.

Yeah, no. SJP has been compared to a horse for a long time because of her facial features. Blacks being compared to gorillas is a vile attempt to dehumanize an entire race. These two things are in no way comparable, and take your racebaiting elsewhere.

Give me a break. Google did not do this to dehumanize an entire race. It was a 1-time error that they apologized for and are working to resolve.

I understand we need to remember the past not to make the same mistakes. But bringing up the bad actions of SOME white people in the past, comparing it to an honest mistake made today, and immediately assigning evil motives just because the people who made the mistake are white, well that's racist.

He never said that Google did. He didn't do the rest of the crap you said either.

Read again, and in context this time.

No, that isn't what he said, or asserted, or even insinuated.

Yeah, no. I specifically absolved Google of that. Try again.

Certain people have problems with this. Everyone knows who they are and that they love to cause problems. But they just claim ignorance and blame someone else.

I'm not trying anything. I didn't scroll up to see your other posts. I read this post in the context of this thread. Honestly, I don't care anymore.
