Shouldn't laugh, not the most PC glitch in the world. Can it really have been a genuine error though. Or someone disgruntled at Google?

Well once their self driving cars start running amok on pavements, they'll soon have other things to worry about.

Racist surely taht would be if it labelled all black people as gorillas?
Since its only doing it to one person:
isn't that just an ugly friend (or actually more likely just the hair cut)?

It's pretty simple really. It's just software looking for patterns.

To AI software, the photo of her looks similar to a photo of a gorilla, and is labelled as such.

I can't see what the big deal is?
