Google Docs unveiled an AI-powered “assisted writing” feature, which is intended to steer users away from what it deems to be politically incorrect words.
Google has rolled out a new “inclusive language” function that is intended to steer its users away from what it deems to be politically incorrect words, like “landlord” and “mankind.”this month that shows pop-up warnings to people typing in words or phrases considered to be non-inclusive, such as “policeman,” “fireman” or “housewife.”
The new AI-powered language feature, called “assistive writing,” has been widely panned by critics, who have accused the search engine of being both intrusive and preachy. Google Docs now shows pop-up warnings to people typing in words or phrases considered to be non-inclusive.Meanwhile, a transcription of an interview with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, where he uses the n-word and says a host of other reprehensible things about black people, raised no red flags.
Google Docs’ algorithm also took issue with President John F. Kennedy’s use of the phrase “for all mankind” in his inaugural address, and helpfully suggested swapping it for “for all humankind.”Christophe Gateau/picture alliance via Getty Images
