Not the steak sauce 🙂 I think it would be amusing to have a program that would recognize gold crosses around necks, and turn them into swasticas. 🙂 ---

Amusing? More like gross. That could be very triggering to people that hate/fear Nazis. Especially in the current climate. Probably piss off/offend a lot of religious folks that don’t have Nazi leanings, which I would hope and expect to be most of them. ---

It would be purely for my own consumption. It would make chance encounters with MAGAt women less jarring. To tell the truth, I would be less offended by Karoline Leavitt if she actually wore a swastica than a cross. It would at least be less hypocritical. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > It would make chance encounters with MAGAt women less jarring This sounds like way more effort than practical for, or justified by, “chance encounters”. ---

I’m not a fan of your idea, but in the spirit of prolix pedantry … You might get better results from your AI if you ask it to change the [whatevers] to "swastika"s rather than "swastica"s. ---

That sounds like something that could probably be done in realtime with a snapchat filter or similar. ---

You’d probably have to train/program your own AI, though, since most of the publicly-available ones have filters to prevent this sort of thing. ---

Yes, I assume AI developers have learnt from MS’s problems with one of their early experimental AI attempts? How would they have fixed it? > **[Microsoft shuts down AI chatbot after it turned into a Nazi](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/microsoft-shuts-down-ai-chatbot-after-it-turned-into-racist-nazi/)** > > ​Microsoft's attempt to engage with millennials went badly awry within 24 hours ---
