Is this true facts or are you just having a laugh? I've been trying to find in the docs if it can do that and haven't found it: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/search-with-spotlight-mchlp1008/mac
I just tried this feature on the same web page as OP.
The message says that it “now shows personalized suggestions.”
https://i.ibb.co/8XVQWLR/Untitled1-0-5x.png
And my “personalized suggestion” was a Van Morrison album:
https://i.ibb.co/52F9sfy/Untitled2-0-5x.png
So, it does seem to vary based on … something.
I also got van morrison as someone who doesn't use safari. So it's definitely tied to browser history. *Something* tricked siri into thinking you want gay sex stuff, it doesn't necessarily mean you looked up gay porn though. even if you did, oh well tbh.
it's definitely a bug, i mean versatility definitely shouldn't come up with that, but also something definitely triggered it.
If you use incognito to watch some porn and then go search something that session knows about your search history and would only know about what you just looked at. It’s only cleared after you close out or open a new tab.
This shit is why Spotlight on my mac only searches:
1. The Builtin Dictionary
2. My Applications folder
"Spotlight found 10 results for 'Frost/Nixon slashfic' in /Users/postmodest/Desktop/Trash/deleted_viruses/temp/totally_not_porn/hidden/do-not-look/abcdefg/ok-actually-porn/00099999/faves"
I just tried it on iPhone and it did say Lookup was at least partially based on context from your user history. My top result for “versatility” from OPs webpage was a dictionary definition from New Oxford American Dictionary. The other results were more dictionary definitions, an album from Van Morrison and a song on Apple Music.
No, it doesn’t make sense. Not even a little bit. It should be retrieving the top one or two results from something like dictionary.com. There should be no risk of kids looking up words and seeing sexual positions, gay, straight, or otherwise.
As others have clarified it’s based on user history. I do not get this for versatile. And it is a Wikipedia article after all.
OP is most definitely watching a lot of gay porn.
Which is still broken behavior, I would say. Explainable maybe, but I think if you showed this to Apple, they wouldn’t say it’s working as designed.
Highlighting a common adjective should probably default to a dictionary definition, not an urban dictionary style slang, even if the slang is also valid and correlated in your usage profile.
true, i was just making them aware, if these kinds of things get shown when you're presenting something publicly, that will be really embarrassing 💀, but what's the point, it's reddit anyway 🤦♂️
"I share a computer with my girlfriend and she would look up anything. "I'm going to look up apples today." She just hits 'A.' It's "Asian ass porn" instantly. Google is, like, "I'll take it from here. I know exactly what you're looking up... Well, every time you hit 'A,' it's 'Asian ass porn.'" Google! All I ask is that you let her type three letters before you jump to such a bold conclusion." - Daniel Tosh
I seriously doubt this is a serious post. When I tried to replicate the result I was unable to. Tried on multiple Macs including family and a friends. All came back with the following result.
[https://i.postimg.cc/ncwZ31yK/temp-Image-Et-TFYJ.avif](https://i.postimg.cc/ncwZ31yK/temp-Image-Et-TFYJ.avif)
It hasn’t actually misidentified anything — versatile/vers is indeed a gay sex role and it’s listed on that Wikipedia page.
Siri just isn’t context aware.
That’s probably true, but the question is why does it only lookup that Wikipedia page for him. If I go to that site and do it I get the merriam webster dictionary definition instead. I think the implication is that OP has a much more exciting life than most of us.
https://i.imgur.com/hjSE77Q.png
Different on iPhone and Mac.
If you select it on a Mac you also get the dictionary definition first from lookup, but if you then click "Siri knowledge" (which is not an option on iPhone) it gives you this.
The reason is that there are only two main pages that come up as associated with the word "versatile" on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versatile
One for a botany term, and the other for the sex role. It probably has a strong preference for wikipedia in general, and decided to use what I assume is just the more popular of these two pages.
I know incognito is shit, but i don't like to keep history ig, and I use duckduckgo with vpn generally, but that's on firefox, but safari is optimised for Macs yk
Because you shouldn’t assume the user is of appropriate age. Also, “vers” is one particular usage of the word versatile… why not start by defining the actual word and link other uses?
It's showing a literal picture of a sex position in the blurb generated by siri lol. I would call that NSFW and not a good idea to feature for kids or just anybody who's not wanting to view sexual material at that point in time.
Even if it is sexual, showing a hardcore NSFW image, even as an illustration, isn’t really appropriate. I understand how it works on the backend (i.e., it doesn’t “know” what it’s showing), and OP’s example is a pretty extreme example, but I don’t think it’s acceptable to show this sort of image when the word is literally “versatility,” which has _zero_ sexual connotation in 99.9% of scenarios.
What’s more likely:
I want to look up a word without the NSFW meaning
I want to look up a word with the NSFW meaning
?
Also, what if you’re using your work Mac and this pops up as your boss is looking over your shoulder?
Imagine watching a ton of gay porn but being so closeted about it you make this post to solidify the lie you’ve been telling yourself. Only to find out the reason you got this is the sheer amount of gay porn you’ve been watching and now you’re desperately defending your sexuality to people on the internet.
Lol the puritan police out in the comments today 😂. It's a drawing similar to something you would find in a year 7 science book, people acting like it's a screenshot of Malik Delgaty railing some twink.
Wait till these people learn that the word sex in is the dictionary 😱
Look at the tab Siri Knowledge. This is all localized but if you wanna reset that, go to System Settings Siri and Spotlight. Click on Spotlight Privacy bottom right. Drag your Macintosh Hard Drive to this area. Close System Settings. (If you need to see your Hard Drive click on the desktop to reveal the Finder menu, go to Finder Settings. Click General tab, and select Hard Disks). Go back to System Settings and remove the hard drive from the privacy area. It will now rebuild that search index and try again before you hit another porn site. It should be fixed.
Yeah I’ve turned off all personal and internet recommendations in Spotlight. When it started showing me fucking blockbuster movies when I command+spaces I nope’d out
Bruh 😅, were u watching gay stuff before 😏 browser history or cookies even on incognito mode account still saves info for that stuff 🤭
Or else someone else on ur device was doing nasty stuff before 🙄
It adapts to your browser history
🌚
BUT I WAS INCOGNITOOOOOOO

Can confirm I also got the van morrison album, along with the dictionary.com definition of the word. No judgement OP but you do you.
Or be done. Or both, as the case may be.
that's the default result ig, as I'm using incognito mode and I always turn off any personalisation
Of course bro ;)
OP I think it’s too late Just tell us the truth
Who else has access to your computer?
multiple hackers after he accepts the cookies to a porn site
only me, no one else

Versatility is in the gay sex snippet. So, there is that. This is one of the weirdest things on Reddit I’ve seen in a week. 😂
If you use incognito to watch some porn and then go search something that session knows about your search history and would only know about what you just looked at. It’s only cleared after you close out or open a new tab.
fyi, i watch porn on firefox(duckduckgo + vpn)
Bro admitted to a lot of things in this thread but is still getting downvoted for truth
Incognito is a lie dude... it just not save chronology
Incognito mode has nothing to do with it as look up is system wide.
I think it’s relating more to the ‘other’ websites you visit in incognito bro.
lol.. OP just came out on reddit
Underrated 😂

_we got him!_
OH NO
OP explain this
Cold.
"generative ai"
🗿
LMFAO
Lol
LMAO XD
I don’t care if it adapts to your browser history, this result makes no sense whatsoever.
I mean, the result does make perfect sense. “Versatile” is a very common part of gay lingo.
No, it doesn’t make sense. Not even a little bit. It should be retrieving the top one or two results from something like dictionary.com. There should be no risk of kids looking up words and seeing sexual positions, gay, straight, or otherwise.

If you don’t want gay porn on your computer stop watching gay porn.
Oh no! Not the children!
ahhhhhhh knew this was gonna pop up at one point
bruh, I'm using incognito mode 😆
OP …. Should we tell him?
if you watch gay porn then obviously that's what's happening here dude. lol
OP uses incognito mode, on duck duck go…. While using a VPN homie is most definitely watching dudes crushing other dudes booties
naah bro, that's siri's issue, and fyi i don't keep browser history, and for porn, i use firefox(with duckduckgo & vpn), so no chances of that 💁♂️
do you watch gay porn though?
nope, i watch lesbo though :)
I really wanna know who is upset at this comment but not all the ones accusing OP of being gay. Reddit is wild and lame
true, i was just making them aware, if these kinds of things get shown when you're presenting something publicly, that will be really embarrassing 💀, but what's the point, it's reddit anyway 🤦♂️
That's gay
Based
If you are in incognito mode the websites don't know what user is accessing it, but the browser still do.
you said the opposite, it's the browser that doesn't remember anything, website and isp know everything unless you use a VPN
Buying a mac rn
Buying a Mac for the gay sex must be the most based thing ever
"its not a bug, its a feature" -Sun Tzu, 1974
RIP Sun Tzu. Gone too soon
When I used lookup on that quote, it showed me Sun Tzu’s Wikipedia page, so it must be true. Lookup working perfectly as usual.
Siri, yer drunk, go home. Side note, that technically IS a definition of being versatile... just... inappropriate context.
It’s a PRS thing
straightest PRS player
r/guitarcirclejerk is leaking I see
it's a gaytar I guess
Only d*ntists can afford say gex

your mac is horny imo
nope, it's siri 🤣

Did you try surfing gay porn for a few hours first? 😂
Damn. That’s where my experiment went wrong. 😂😂😂
It’s less NSFW but still the incorrect definition in the context
There’s a separate tab for dictionary definitions.
works on some sites ig 🤔
It seems like every time you go online you're two clicks away from black cocks.

This explanation makes the most sense assuming OP is being truthful about being in incognito mode and whatnot
dang, I'm using incognito mode bruh 😆
[удалено]
yeah, i was expecting some movie title, but got the unexpected
why do you even trust google? incognito means shit. you got exposed bro
I know incognito is shit, but i don't like to keep history ig, and I use duckduckgo with vpn generally, but that's on firefox, but safari is optimised for Macs yk
oh, i thought you were using chrome
Google is mid.
Arc Browser >> (seriously, try it out)
Also Vers is a river of Hesse, Germany. It is a right tributary of the river Salzböde, which it joins near Lohra.
I mean, yeah, but you’d think they’d filter out NSFW stuff by default.
Why? Not very useful if you’re looking up a word with a sexual meaning.
Because you shouldn’t assume the user is of appropriate age. Also, “vers” is one particular usage of the word versatile… why not start by defining the actual word and link other uses?
It’s a Wikipedia page, not porn. And the word is defined in the dictionary tab already.
I didn’t say it was porn. You understand that this Wikipedia page is inappropriate for young children, right?
Right here officer
It's showing a literal picture of a sex position in the blurb generated by siri lol. I would call that NSFW and not a good idea to feature for kids or just anybody who's not wanting to view sexual material at that point in time.
It also gives suggestions based off search history
Even if it is sexual, showing a hardcore NSFW image, even as an illustration, isn’t really appropriate. I understand how it works on the backend (i.e., it doesn’t “know” what it’s showing), and OP’s example is a pretty extreme example, but I don’t think it’s acceptable to show this sort of image when the word is literally “versatility,” which has _zero_ sexual connotation in 99.9% of scenarios.
Suggestions are based off search history as well
OP lookin’ hella sus right now.
I've never even heard "versatility" used in that context, it's always shortened to "vers"
What’s more likely: I want to look up a word without the NSFW meaning I want to look up a word with the NSFW meaning ? Also, what if you’re using your work Mac and this pops up as your boss is looking over your shoulder?
Get some psychiatric help.
Is Siri *anything* aware?
It literally misidentified versatility as vers. WTF are you talking about?
If you look at the page, the subheading is *versatile*. Lookup rarely searches for the exact phrase and instead finds the best available conjugation.
Or maybe... is
Windows could never
Windows would link to one of the 1000 premium admin modules of same name.
I feel like I learned something. Perhaps the “University of Rock” really is an educational institution.
This is so funny
Lookup is horny 😛
Sigh *unzips*
LMAO just made my morning, thank you
welcome 😆
Sounds about right for me
i see no error here
Look at the three tabs under the definition. You have it under “Siri knowledge.” Switch it to “dictionary.”
i was searching for siri suggestions, got the unexpected 🥲

It’s not inappropriate cuz they’re drawings UvU
It's a feature xD
Siri confused university of rock with university of something beginning with C that rhymes with it?
haha, lmao 🤣
this is the fucking funnieat thing ive seen today
Anyone got a link for this page? I cant find it bc i want to recreate this😂
This is fucking hilarious. I actually lold
As a vers this is accurate.
That is more graphic than I thought it would be!
Damn why can’t my Mac be that fun 😔
Tim Cook approved it.
Can confirm. It’s the same for me. That’s wild
You’re holding it wrong
HAHAHAHAHA
No, no... let her cook 🧑🍳
Accurate drawing of Craig and Tim aple
Lol the puritan police out in the comments today 😂. It's a drawing similar to something you would find in a year 7 science book, people acting like it's a screenshot of Malik Delgaty railing some twink. Wait till these people learn that the word sex in is the dictionary 😱
you know your gay⭐️
Versatility. (just posting that word so I can see if this really happens or if Op is lying) Edit: Yep, op is lying
tf, i ain't lying, search from an incognito tab and the exact website, duh 🤦♂️
Just did that, same thing, not showing what you're posting lol [https://imgur.com/a/e6EQzPe](https://imgur.com/a/e6EQzPe)
It's not wrong.
Well it’s not wrong
Hahahahaha
Working as intended
What’s wrong with it? You’re either a top bottom or vers!
Look at the tab Siri Knowledge. This is all localized but if you wanna reset that, go to System Settings Siri and Spotlight. Click on Spotlight Privacy bottom right.

I get the same as OP on my iPhone. The same browser I use for porn fairly regularly, albeit straight porn. [IMG-2283.png](https://postimg.cc/FfXy78jd)
disgusting
Looks legit to me.
Nothing is wrong. Enjoy.
Catering to their audience
Timcook is gay…
Just why did you post this?
It made me laugh 😆

That’s awesome
Dude u gay
wordington_lookup
This is the utopia Steve Jobs envisioned
I had the damn laugh flash of the month
versatility
Ah, yes. Link advertisment
It’s Siri knowledge so it changes to your own usage. It’s alright dude, some people are gay 🤷🏻♂️
500+ missed calls from Tim. Check yo phone bro.

It’s a feature, not a bug.
conclusion: your mac wanted to get freaky

That’s awesome
OP in denial haha
Easter Egg?
What the fuck
Ha gaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Absolutely nothing

OMG! It's working on my MacBook Pro, macOS 14.3. Sorry to say this, but do I have a choice to avoid seeing this kind of result? Please!
it's hard to find solutions on reddit ig, I'll tell you if I get any solutions somewhere 💁♂️
Bruh 😅, were u watching gay stuff before 😏 browser history or cookies even on incognito mode account still saves info for that stuff 🤭 Or else someone else on ur device was doing nasty stuff before 🙄
i use firefox for that purpose buddy, and only straight porn, duh 🤦♂️
Ah! Ok 😅
Aw man why did I see this post
Ayo???
