That gave me a good laugh
And it really sticks out as one of the few paradigm shifts we’ve had in the last 10 years. In 2009, it really was an impossible task to do that kind of image recognition. But by 2012, it was available in a library for anyone.
AlexNet was September 2012.
FlickR did their XKCD1425 bird detector in Oct 2014: https://code.flickr.net/2014/10/20/introducing-flickr-park-o...
(If anyone here hasn't watched the series, do yourself a favor and do so.)
That said, still a very entertaining show.
It turned out the untextured 3D pig's head in my image was tripping Discord's porno filter. I can only assume it was the shape of its snout.
* During COVID, a medical school professor complains his class livestream would get cut off constantly without warning because he is teaching anatomy and showing pictures.
* Civics class online quiz. Multiple choice question. A: *; B: *; C: *; D: * - apparently all four choices are censored because they are names of Chinese leader.

“This feature remains severely disliked by users, with feedback such as ‘Fuck this moronic new button!’ being an example of the milder responses.”
That is to say… as a native speaker of the lovely little English variant where the word fuck or words derived from it are valid in almost every single linguistic context the English language possesses… I take offence at this petty US cultural imperialism.
Just looking at the sheer flexibility of the word on the wiktionary reveals it’s impressive breadth of use. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fuck#English

"my anal ysis shows..."
that doesnt get flagged as a spelling error?
why is it even a 'feature'? someone had to go in add a switch for the word anal to turn spell check off. it isnt like they just dont want to be involved with swear words. this is a feature that makes the app worse?!?
plus anal isnt even a swear word. how do you want me to describe the hole where the shit comes out? this is just wrong on so many levels.
Jeez, darn are all mild forms of expletives, should they be blocked? What about bloody? That many anglophones would go to if you couldn't swear?
Surely if you can't use those, people are just going to say gosh instead, or Smeg or frel. Should they also be banned. Swear words exist for a reason, you can perhaps get rid of the harshest forms, you are never going to remove the need or desire for people to swear though.
The more interesting thing about that feature was that it A) only blocked nude images of white people, and B) would aggressively block photos of golden retrievers much to the annoyance of someone in the claims team who bred them and occasionally received photos to her work email.
