66-year-old grandma shocked as AI sends message filled with profanity: ‘Been able to have sex’
Hindustan TimesA shocking error in Apple’s AI dictation software left an elderly Scottish woman appalled after it inaccurately transcribed a voicemail with offensive language and inappropriate sexual references, reported the New York Post. However, the iPhone’s voice-to-text service completely misinterpreted the call, referring to her as a “piece of s–t” and asking if she had “been able to have sex.” “The text was obviously quite inappropriate,” Littlejohn told the post, recalling the shocking error. “It is not their fault at all.” Experts suggest the error may have been caused by the caller’s Scottish accent, but background noise and the scripted nature of the message were likely bigger factors in the mix-up. Just last month, the company drew backlash from MAGA supporters when its software mistakenly transcribed the word “racist-” as “Trump.” Apple later clarified that its dictation feature sometimes displays words with phonetic similarities before self-correcting.
