APPLE iPHONE Voice-to-Text Converts 'Racist' to 'Trump'!!!
tmz.com ^ | 2/25/25

Apple's iPhone voice-to-text feature is in hot water ... with users doing a double-take after noticing it sometimes swaps out the word "racist" for "Trump."

TMZ’s got the receipts -- we tested it ourselves after a TikTok called it out -- with a user saying "racist" into the voice-to-text, and boom, "Trump" flashes up for a hot second before switching to the correct word. he issue's been replicated multiple times, though the word "Trump" didn't pop up every single time when the user repeated "racist" in the same message.

With repeated tests showing the same issue, this doesn’t look like a mere glitch -- and it may hint at some deep-rooted biases in Apple’s voice-recognition tech.

Another reason why I will not use an Iphone. Not that Samsung is much better. I do have an ipad but I have not linked it with any contacts, emails, etc. other than the appleID

They will play their silly little games while believing they are fearless resistance fighters.

Just tried it - and sure enough - “Trump” flashed up for a second before “racist” appeared - very quick but long enough for my old eyes to see it.

President Trump should sue the crap out of them. Musk can buy the company on the cheap.

If you try the word “senile”, does it flash “Biden”?

Not nonsense. They showed it on the Pat Gray show this morning. Apple probably pushed out a “fix” when this was exposed.

Yep, this is true. I suppose being ‘a deplorable’ is a step up from the despicable left.

This is spiritual a battle. Make no mistake who the true enemy is.

That ain’t nothing compared to what Trump just posted on truth social.

Trump Gaza, complete with Dubai style Gaza strip with a golden statue of himself. Elon throwing handfuls of money, raining bills from the sky, sunbathing Trump and Bibi sipping cocktails and bearded belly dancers in their harem costumes!!!?

Bwahahahahahahaha. Trump Gaza lolololokóok, he posted it himself

Well, it did for me yesterday. It did it twice and then changed to “you racist” and then “Reinhold” and I stopped trying.
