    After the recent AI backlash over historically white figures being portrayed as black, people have been testing Google and other search engines. The expression "top of the morning" has been an Irish expression for centuries. Despite this fact, a Google search of "top of the morning meaning" yields the image of a black woman... People on the emerald Isle are confused. What is happening?

    Maybe it got confused about the 'black irish'.

    True. The original Irish were black so it's not a surprise Google might suggest the term derived from black folk

    She doesn't appear on my search. She is just one of the people answering the question.

    Another thread for easily triggered right wing snowflakes. Seems like there is a daily quota.

    If that's so, then what is the response?

    Do black people say "...and the rest of the day to you, sir.".....or "and the eve be yours as well....?

    That's the original as taught by my Irish immigrant neighbors in the early 1950's.

    Did you click on the link? - no one is saying it is a 'black' expression. Just more baseless right wing outrage.

    Wait until AI starts educating your children about the evils of whiteness.
    AI is one big dumpster fire with free speech as the fuel.

    Not 'free speech' but propaganda.

    AI is nothing but garbage in, garbage out.

    We are to the point of living out the movie Idiocracy.

    Idiocracy was a homage to California.

    Are they though? It's a biased sample, but I think the Irish people I know would be able to work out what caused that in the same way I did.

    The link is to a Quroa-esk question and answer site and that image is the profile picture of one of the people who answered the question there. Maybe the problem here isn't the AI showing black people but the people who can't conceive of a black woman being educated in English etymology?

    It opened to select theatres several years ago during an episode of "The Apprentice" when half of America lost its mind.

    Oh dear. Another right winger who can't read. Was I responding to the OP? If I wasn't then your post is meaningless. Should be a familar feeling.
