Note the ad that the algorithm chose to juxtapose to a story about some landlord in Ohio placing a “white only” sign on the swimming pool at her duplex. Now is that subtle and ironic — wildly creative and just a bit naughty — or what?
To my way of thinking, the algorithm is exhibiting about as much smarts and sensitivity as the duplex landlord.
