Yet there would be no apogee if they labeled white men something derogatory.

If not primates, then what? Reptiles?

We are all primates.

Damn proud to be one, myself. Lot’s of good company.

All humans are primates.

Though, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened with their advanced tech. Perhaps programming things with their liberal biases actually causes the problem they are supposedly solving.

It seems pretty foolish to be offended by social mistakes made by an AI routine. But I guess its just a sign about how hyper sensitive the Left has conditioned whites to be about offending blacks.

I am a primate just a couple levels removed from the monkeys. What’s the big deal?

Aren’t computers allowed to joke just a little? AI has a humor subroutine.

An insurance commercial is airing daily that features a dog that looks like its owner. Some people look similar to animals in the animal kingdom. So what? They are still humans. Still endowed by the Creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

This is as stupid as being triggered by bananas or a little garage door pull-down rope.
Our nation is insane.
Besides we are all primates.

Norm MacDonald had a funny bit a few years back that trolled Google’s A.I.

He typed in: “Leading scorer in WNBA”

Google replied: “Did you mean: Leading scorer in _NBA?_”

*shocked, out loud* “GOOGLE!!!”

AI is the perfect vehicle for modern “software developers”. You don’t need logical thinking, critical reasoning skills, or coding talent. You just “train”. And then when the results go badly you can blame a completely opaque nonentity of bit patterns for the problem. No one gets fired.

It’s really a microcosm of the culture.

A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellas with compassion and vision

We’ll be clean when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free
Yes, and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

-Donald Fagen

“The Diocese of Edmonton congratulates Bishop Sixbert Macumi of our companion Diocese of Buyé on his election as the Fifth Archbishop and Primate of the Anglican Church of Burundi.”

Couldn’t link directly to photo but, yes, the Primate of Burundi is black.
