- A Redditor spotted a strange inconsistency in the Galaxy AI content filter regarding skin color.
- In some examples, the AI indicated it was appropriate to describe skin color as white but not as black.
- Other online posters have previously flagged instances of the content filter appearing to act in an overzealous manner.
As with all LLMs, finding the right balance for the Galaxy AI content filter was always going to be tricky. Samsung will be keen not to offend while also not wishing to moderate too aggressively. However, we might at least hope for consistency, especially when it comes to sensitive issues, which is why it seems odd that the AI appears to only censor certain descriptions of skin colors.
In a Reddit post on Monday, user P26601 shared a screenshot showing two examples of Galaxy AI checking sentences for spelling and grammar. The phrase “my skin is white” is checked without issue, while the AI refused to check the phrase “my skin is black,” suggesting it may contain inappropriate content.
