Apple's iPhone voice-to-text feature is sparking controversy after a viral TikTok video showed a user speaking the word "racist," which at first showed up as "Trump" before switching back to "racist." Apple claims that the speech recognition models that power dictation may temporarily display words with some phonetic overlap, before landing on the correct word. This is not the first time technology has sparked controversy over what was perceived as a slight against President Donald Trump. A video went viral in September showing the Amazon Alexa virtual assistant explaining reasons for voting for then-Vice President Kamala Harris while refusing to provide similar responses for Trump.
