An Apple spokeswoman blamed the issue on phonetic overlap between the two words, and said the company was working on a fix.

🤔

    The company said it is working to fix the issue...

    What issue? It sounds like it works perfectly fine.

    Instead, he said, there was probably software code somewhere on Apple’s systems that caused iPhones to write the word “Trump” when someone said “racist.”

    “This smells like a serious prank,” Mr. Burkey said. “The only question is: Did someone slip this into the data or slip into the code?”

    yeah, I wouldn't read too much into it guys

    Apple will comply and instead transcribe "winner" to "Trump" in order to curry favor with him. Just like they kowtow on the Gulf of Shame.

    Not sure if this is relevant but would be interesting to see what words have high cosine similarity with "Trump" in different pre-trained LLMs

    No. Do not share that site. It uses google scripts and can't be loaded in Tor Browser.

    Just share an article from another news outlet that doesn't paywall.

    Bug stories like this are covered by hundreds of outlets. Its not hard.

    I had to try this and you appear to be correct.

    Its kinda bizare i get a captcha which i cant enter without javascript but in firefox i dont get any captcha at all.

    However i don’t think your solution is adequate. I don’t particularly care about this story i care about having to face a paywall every 3 times i click a link on lemmy.

    Kinda sucks there are not more sites like it but i did successfully test this compromise: https://web.archive.org/web/20250226151151/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/technology/iphone-dictation-trump-racist.html
