theetishamarie Facebook like white supremacists run run through the and platform. And then make it difficult for African-Americans to expose racism and injustice in America.
theetishamarie I am not surprised by this revelation about Facebook.
Is this not just some Liberal bias atplay? Humans ARE primates: If someone gets their nose tweaked by being referred to as a primate, perhaps they ought to go back to school and study anthropology a while. Now, the facts are simple- but so are the minds.
Ok. I'm done with the internet today
Regular disrespect to blacks in your schools to your online platform no surprise thanks anyway
Why not quit spying using algorithms and let me see what I choose to…when did you become all knowing god?!?!
JesseCoffey15 WTFMoments
How we know Facebook was calling the black guys 'primates'? Maybe Facebook was calling the white guys primates.
Sometimes, apologies are not worth a damn. Do better!
Doesn’t anybody wonder why anyone would want to offend a segment of the population in such a fashion? All they had to do was report it to Facebook (I’m no friend of this app) and made sure the corrections took place.
WTF?!?! Daily reminder to DeleteFacebook
This is the saddest thing I've read today. 'Unacceptable' is a start. Algorithmicjustice, transparency and equity really cannot wait.
Defund NPR NOW!!!
What the hell?
🤭😙😋😛😜😝😅😂🤣
OMG. Is this real?
Wow!! Now who’s racist!?
I wouldn't even have noticed because I watch both types of videos.
Error, I think not! Was built in!
Humans are primates.
I'd like an apology from Facebook for restricting my account due to the term 'kick your ass' when I jokingly had fun with a school chum of 50 years over him calling me 'Popeye'. My account was private and all 32 friends I had were those I went to school with and coworkers.
Terrible mistake but what about the clothes, that had to be a factor . And that is why auto driven cars are killing people. AI cannot substitute a human eye, because there is no previous knowledge enough to analyze, compare and define what is seen. Any teacher knows that.
Kasıtlı yaptığına şüphem yok.
Racism? Spreading disinformation? Facebook truly does it all… 😡
Lol AI is racist AF too !
Wow, maybe this will make people get off Facebook and Instagram…oh wait
Facebook needs to put itself in Facebook Jail for a year
🤣 My guess is the AI confused the dark skin with fur. Maybe the pictures used for the training were in grayscale and low resolution.
WTF Glad I’m off Facebook
Apparently this has been a constant battle with software. Prior to that, there were and still are difficulties just taking pictures and having the same amount of detail with dark skin as those with lighter skin. I don't think this error was intentional.
So wrong on so many levels…. And What if Facebook’s AI is running an experiment and we are the lab mice?
Im basically a luddite but um, dont humans build and teach AIs or do i watch too many movies?
While working at IBM helping with the practical application of AI in business I would often remind people of the word “artificial” in AI and it’s still people who write the code so just reflective of what already exists.
Garbage in, Garbage out.
The vast majority of liberals ascribe to evolution, which classifies humans as 'primates.' Yet, they are triggered by this. SMH
This kind of crap is why I stopped using facebook.
And I get “jailed” for saying an ugly person is ugly. SMDH
Every time I report a racist and/or sexist comment I am told it does not violate their 'community standards.' It is clear these standards were created & maintained by [white] men.
WTAF
I've been ranting about Facebook 's garbage facebookai because I'm one transgression away from whatever comes next after a 30-day suspension. All of this due to the computer code that lacks the meaning of context.
This exactly why I left Facebook. It’s become nothing but a far right cesspool. Look at who trends on there.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 fu Facebook
the comments on this are funny. the radia left actually thinks Facebook is right wing, and that it protects the right 🤣🤣🤣
It wasn't a mistake. AI is built and developed by people, people who are biased, whether intentional or unconsciously driven by discrimination patterns of thought that they learned.
Should have coded critical race theory into the ai
More reason to shut it down.
Because we're not primates anymore! her/he/them/it
🤦🏽♀️
Racist a$$ algorithm
Facebook AI is a joke. SO many get banned for ridiculous reasons
I'd like to go ahead right now & apologize for every unacceptable error I've ever made & will ever make - there, I feel better now
Break it up or shut it down. It is accelerating the doomsday clock and killing people every day…
'sorry if your feelings got hurt, but we can't help it if our software is accidentally a dick sometimes lol'
This cannot be real… WTF
i hope the primates accepted the apology, no one wants to be lumped in with those violent animals.
Can't believe people still use Topix...I mean Facebook.
DeleteFacebook
Sure, I'm on a 60 day restriction right now for a couple of memes I posted over two years ago, but this is ok. 🙄
So many other reasons to not be on Facebook
Whatever Zuckerberg.
drDendere 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Come on NPR first this isn’t news second it’s devisive.. and you know it. So.. what’s the point?
Just wow
Garbage in, garbage out.
See...
People have been saying FB is racist for years, but it takes something this blatant to get a news story on it.
Not TheOnion
I am a Primate. However I do understand it was inappropriate. I’m sure AI will get better over time but it’s not the first time I’ve read of unexpected results from various AI systems.
I’m so tired. We’re all so tired.
😲🤦♀️
Who has facebook anymore?
Can we go ahead and admit that Mark Zuckerberg is a white super most. All those meetings with Trump. All the white nationalist and Qanon on Facebook.
This is INSANE.
oh, there's a lot they have to apologize for.....
wooooowwwwww
I deleted facebook about 6 months ago, life is better without it. The more social media I delete, the better life gets… who’d have thought huh, there’s a real world out there… it’s pretty amazing, don’t just take my word though. Try it out yourself guys…
CodedBias
serious ai error ?: JoeBiden' style
Another reason to keep my account disabled
Maybe it’s time to ditch the heavy reliance on AI.
Just shut it down.
Perhaps a boycott will help facebook
Sure... The AI did it.
WTF
Unacceptable error? To🔥hell with you Facebook and Zuckerberg. I should’ve trusted my instincts long ago. Thankfully I gave up Facebook when Trump became the president; unbelievable. Their role in allowing and even supporting misinformation is unforgivable.
Omg that appalling
npr who should I seek out for a terrible thing Facebook is doing to myself which is resulting I'm truly significant damage to more then 1 of the children I work with with moderate to severe learning disabilities. I've called I've tweeted I've tried to contact investors relation
Has anyone used the translate option? Why are they apologising this once? The AI isn't great. Understandably, it isn't their fault.
I doubt it’s an error. A.I is software written by human beings.
AdijayKayiza
Ah so it’s AI’s fault... sure🤦🏻♀️
Amazing how much FB f$cks up and suffers no consequences.
It’s how Zuck refers to them in private.
LOL. See, there really IS internalized racism. Even the computers have it!
Facebook is a shit platform that will eventually fall under the weight of its own bullsh** racist algorithms..
Quit Facebook. Feel better.
Where is the cancel mob on this one
Humans/people irrespective of race are members of the primate group or family. People who don't think humans are animals must be classifying them as vegetables or minerals. That and they have never seen the news on how humans behave. WE are a bunch of animals. No apology required
tariqnasheed Facebook using the AI Excuse where they blame 'computerized racism' on the'aLgORiThM'. Facebook has a long history of being anti black.
But they are primates. I am too. We all are.
Oh my god 🤦♂️😂 you just can’t do that wtf
drDendere Me I will take the apology as a Ugandan. Wama webale kwetonda.
Wow thats racist!! Why doesn’t the BLM movement burn FB down in a peaceful protest like fashion? Sounds like FB gonna buy their way out of this debacle.
So, AI is racist. It’s not like we all didn’t know silicone valley is deeply racist. I know California pretends it’s not, but it is.
WHAT
Sounds like Trumplican Facebook users may not be the best role models for Machine Learning.
Sad state of affairs when AI starts autonomously developing racist tendencies.
Facebook is evil and needs to be heavily regulated. I had an account for a brief period way back in 20011 and it was hell to get it 100% canceled. Now it would be almost impossible, right? The ID theft must go on I guess. Do forget they helped elect Trump
? WTF 😒
We've known how to properly train AI to avoid this crap and FB just didn't care.
An error?!😣
DeleteFacebook
Shut it down. Everyone, please.
Facebook is just a reflection of us, and parts of it are not pretty racist
Sure, we believe Facebook, - never
This reads like an onion article, ffs
The algorithm is biased...rember the creators were white men 😒🤨
This company is disgusting
What the fuck?
Divorce Facebook!
Life imitating art again. 'Animal Incident'
literally WTF!
Burn Facebook
Oh my god
Yo Mark Z how’s your social experiment going ?
Sucking FB.
Yeah. An error. 😒
Delete this harmful app. For those who don’t think they can make the break, yes you can. You can even download all your content and save it before deleting forever. It’s been three years since I deleted Zuckerberg’s irresponsible and dangerous site
deletefacebook
These don’t look like errors to , they are intentional, and they know what they are doing
What fresh hell is this?
This is why diversity matters in hiring. It can help erase unconscious bias
LOL
This “mistake “ of theirs continues to happen so I’m going to ignore it and this company
A companion to this article:
WTF? deletefacebook
Sure.
No good enough. AI sucks.
HOW was the AI preprogrammed that way in the first place?
It’s so cute how Facebook simply “apologizes”
Code bias, probably built by white, male, engineers
Is this problematic?
Glad to know they make errors, They still haven't apologized to me for their juvenile rules,
Facebook strikes again.
Lol.
Wtf...
Sure. We can keep pretending FB isn’t a racist, sexist, homophobic company.
Next, Facebook can apologize for restricting my account for mentioning the word 'arrows' to a friend who works as a professional Robin Hood. (No, seriously. This really happened. The website's algorithms really are that broken.)
good
😳😠 Wow! Just. WOW! Apology NOT accepted!
Interesting story.
It's not an error, it's literally by design. 🙄
It’s too strange to be accidental…
DeleteFacebook fuckzuckerberg
makes sense if you think about it tho
An apology is NOT enough.
