Microsoft Bing Shows My Little Pony Porn Gif as Top Result in Apple's Messages

For anyone interested, going off from other news, this is it I think:

It could have been a lot worse.

Why is this an incorrect result, or what else do you expect if you search for "butt"? Searching "butt", unless you meant "boat", implies the desired result to be that of a rear. The alternative would be to show zero results.

Mmm, I dunno. If I search butt, I would expect an actual butt be the first result, not a fairly specific pornographic image. Google gives us a nice array of butts, and some are cartoon drawings, but it's just butts. Not butts being used in sexual acts, just a butt.

The fact that desktop Bing returns different results also suggests that this is not a correct - I'd expect the same results, or perhaps some NSFW removal since I'm guessing the device searches with the equivalent of Safe Search on since it has no idea on the user preferences.

Even with "Moderate" safesearch on, bing returns some fairly explicit results. With "Strict" safesearch on, there are 0 results. (With the "animated gif" option set).

I wasn't suggesting complete NSFW removal, but I would imagine that pony porn should be pretty easily detected. And again, it just seems odd to me that Bing would return pony gifs over the multitude of human porn gifs.

Detecting pony porn is probably an incredibly difficult problem to solve, considering that they are "naked" by default. The GIF in question is mainly made NSFW by the addition of underwear.

If I search Google for "butt gif" I see these top 3 results: human butt getting slapped, Simpsons principal twerking, and someone's face in someone else's rear.

Of course our subjective definitions of sexual content may differ, but I wouldn't consider these to be any less sexual than the pony.

This one was a real problem, but what gif am I looking for when I search for "huge". Huge what? Seems like Apple has blocked the "huge" for now, which only seems like a temporary workaround because there's nothing sexual about "huge" without being more specific.

Would you tag that NSFW, please?

The horror. Good thing Apple didn't invent the Internet yet.

Microsoft Bing is considered to be pretty good for searching porn, or so I've heard.

My god think of the children!
