Google Pauses ‘Woke’ Feature That Suggests ‘Inclusive Language’ To Users

Google has reportedly paused an “inclusive language” function that replaces words in Google Docs that it deems politically incorrect.

In a Tuesday afternoon statement to The Daily Wire, Google spokeswoman Jenny Thomson compared the feature to a “thesaurus or spell checker,” noting that Google is “committed to making Google Docs helpful for everybody.”

“It’s a form of AI that uses language understanding models, based on millions of common phrases and sentences, to automatically learn how people communicate and suggest changes,” she explained.

“However,” she noted, “inclusive language suggestions—an assisted writing feature—can over or undercorrect certain phrases. We’re looking more carefully at the inclusive language suggestions and have paused those for further review while we continue to improve this feature.”
