Disaster School calls to inform mother her nigger missed class.

Mother Angry After School's Robocall Keeps Mispronouncing Daughter's Name As A Racial Slur


She should be more concerned about her kid missing class than the retarded name she gave her being mispronounced.

So is SkyNet joining the Klan?

You'd think the developer would have done extensive testing on the pronunciation of commonly used names before releasing this to the public.

I can't even right now.

She's interpreting this the same as the lawyer dog scenario, she should assume they were actually referring to her as a nigger affectionately.

 

[Ol' Puss]

So where's the baby daddy? What did he have to say about it?

They probably did, which is why "Nicarri" was mispronounced.

ETA: it doesn't actually say nigger, but instead nicker which is closer to being UK slang for underwear.

We use synthesized speech on behalf of schools to notify parents of school-related information. Often, we play back student names as part of that information. We have one school that is pretty upset about the pronunciation of one of their students' names: "Nicarri".

Bing Speak pronounces it "nicker", which over the telephone resembles a racial slur.

Go to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/speech/

and try "My name is Nicarri".

In light of the current political environment, the school is rather upset and news media is picking up the story. MS, are you listening? You might want to make a small adjustment to your speech synthesizer.

This sensitive nigga better stay out of Asia.

Niccari isn't even a good nigga name.

Another poor victimized woman of color, previously a slave, looking for more reparations for the immeasurable damages done to her.

Note how she doesn't even accept the school's public apology, she just whines that again, her little Niccari missed class again the next week and she got another racist phone call about her truant child.

Parents really need to stop obsessing over how their kid's name is pronounced, but still I need to know how this Automated call pronounced "Nicarri" because it's hard to see how the N word can be pronounced there's an "A" in the name, was that never pronounced?

Is there some sort of contest going on in the black community about who can pick the worst name

 

[Positron]

If the mom doesn't want embarrassing phone calls, she should have told her precious baby not to skip classes.

 

[Mason Verger]

We're at least 50 years away from AI becoming self aware, and at least 80 years from AI being able to pronounce made up black names.

Here I thought that Lemonjello (pronounced Lea-mon-jay-lo) was the worst name, but the inner city black community surprises me again.

 

[neverendingmidi]

Well, she can commiserate with the poor mama of Female (Fem-ma-lee).

 

[Lackadaisy]

Wtf kind of name is Nicarri?

 

[Big Meaty Claws]

School has low funding and has a hard time teaching students? Meh

School's automated robocall system mispronounced my daughters name? SHUT IT DOWN!!!

If AI becomes self aware, it will hate black people too.
