But there was no racist software engineer at Google giggling to himself as he wrote the code.

Nobody implied there was. Unnecessary edginess here, most adults usually know how the professional world works and it's pretty juvenile to infer otherwise just to score a retort.

The algorithm trained itself based on data that was fed into it

I'm aware of that. Machine learning isn't that novelty a topic to talk about anymore. My comment implied the required testing that needs to happen on the test cases before launching a new update seems sloppily done, if they'd fail to see the error on a pretty large demographic it was supposed to act on.

Maybe there was something wrong with the data, idk

Huh, you don't say. But you got your internet points for the day, guess that made your day. Don't cut yourself on those edges.
