Several iPhone users have reported a bug in Apple’s automatic dictation feature that causes the word “racist” to temporarily appear as “Trump” before correcting itself. The issue has raised questions about Apple’s artificial intelligence capabilities after being featured in a viral TikTok post. An Apple spokeswoman attributed the problem to phonetic overlap between the two words and stated that the company was working on a fix.
Experts believe the bug may be the result of a prank or a software code error rather than a technical issue with Apple’s data collection for artificial intelligence offerings. The bug is the latest in a series of stumbles for Apple since the introduction of Apple Intelligence, with previous issues including inaccurately summarizing news headlines.
This latest bug, reminiscent of a previous Siri controversy involving a nude image linked to rogue Wikipedia editors, adds to a recent string of problems for Apple. The bug began appearing on phones shortly after Apple announced a $500 billion investment in the United States over the next four years and plans to manufacture A.I. servers in Houston next year. This announcement followed a meeting between Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Trump, continuing a series of interactions between the two. Cook also donated to Trump’s inauguration and has participated in various meetings with him.
