Microsoft's New AI Mistakenly Identifies Photos, Ignores Hitler (mashable.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft's newest online AI, CaptionBot, tries to identify what's in an uploaded photo, using two recognition APIs recently released by Microsoft Cognitive Services for app developers-- "Computer Vision" and "Emotion". But while Microsoft brags that their AI "can understand thousands of objects, as well as the relationships between them," bloggers are also sharing funny examples of CaptionBot's many mistakes. While it correctly identified Bea Arthur, Ozzy Osbourne and Joan Jett, and a movie poster with Arnold Schwarzenegger, it mistakenly identified Gene Simmons of KISS as "a woman in a red jacket...sitting on a motorcycle," described a wedding dress as "a cat wearing a tie," mistook Michelle Obama for a cellphone, and described one man's Twitter avatar as "a close up of two giraffes near a tree."
But CNNMoney reports that the AI is apparently programmed to ignore all images of Hitler and other Nazi symbolism (as well as Osama bin Laden), reporting that Microsoft's AI "often came back with 'I really can't describe the picture' and a confused emoji. It did, however, identify other Nazi leaders like Joseph Mengele and Joseph Goebbels."

Yes, I think computetrs were invented by the white man. Nothing made or created by crackers can ever hope to understand the plight of the disadvantaged urban black african american latino. They come up from a totally different universe. The poorest crackers is infinately better off than the richest african american. Noone but african americans can ever understand the struggle they must go through on a daily basis. i know this because Bernie sanders said it is true. Sure bernie does not understand that plight either, but he as a member of the left is closer beginning to understand the phlight of the african american much better than most of us.
See the plight of the african american is such a hard concept for white cracker to understand, it would be like a dog trying to understand quantum mechanics. Now bernie sanders being a liberal is much much closer, to this plight than the average cracker, but he is still very very far away from understanding the phlight. Bernie sanders is like a 5 year old of average intelligence trying to undrestand quantum mechanics.
Go Democrats. Free us from the tyranny of the white cracker republicans.
