Popular book app's AI is deemed 'bigoted' and 'racist' after calling one user a 'diversity devotee' and telling another to 'surface for the occasional white author' A popular book app's AI has been scrapped after being deemed 'bigoted and racist'.
However, outraged readers soon complained that the feature, designed to offer a 'playful roast', was lashing out with racist putdowns.
Another was slammed by their AI summary as a 'diversity devotee', with the app questioning whether they were 'ever in the mood for a straight, cis white man's perspective'.
